Indeed; if we're not going to get manual emails to
maemo-developers/-announce every time there's an
upgrade/downtime/problem/move, having some automated monitoring would
be good.

Expectation incorrect. maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/ gets populated from
Extras directly. The only thing you need to do once you decide to
promote to Extras proper is find your entry and add a screenshot
(entries without screenshots won't appear on the front page).
