You don't need a Garage project to create download pages.  Just a maemo.org 
account.

I would encourage you, as soon as you can find the time, to use the 
autobuilder and put your package into extras-devel and then into extras.  
That makes it much easier for users to find it and it also means that it can 
be automatically rebuilt for future releases and the packages (source and 
binary) are available on the maemo site if anything should happen to your 
site (or you lose interest).

Of course, you might want to keep your repository available for creating 
packages used by your testers before you want to release to the wider 
maemo.org community.

That sounds like a bug: if you are using the forum to read and contribute why 
should you have to also subscribe to the list?
