I suspect most people who want to add something to devscripts don't
start off by deciding that they want to do that. Instead they have an
itch they want to scratch, they write something quick to get fix that,
and then realize that it might be useful for others, and submit it to
devscripts.
That's certainly what happened to dd-list.
devscripts is by nature a collection of tools that are only slightly
related. This makes it quite different from the usual kind of package or
project.
