Well, those are only comments. m.d.n is fine the way it is, but if
people want some of those features I hope my comments are taken in
consideration ;-)

That's exactly what I was thinking about.

I can tell you that it doesn't works as expected, you can take a look at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/ffmpeg-php/
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kgb/
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-adodb/
Those three are already in Debian and I never received a notification.

That's exactly what I tough. I personally don't think it is any useful
to be able to browse the whole source tree in the browser. But of
course DD's and other maintainers may have different opinions.
