Good points, I will pass them to the upstream developer.

Fixed.

Before choosing to install spm as spm.sh I spoke with the upstream
developer. At the moment he's not willing to change the name.

Policy §10.4 says that "the script name should not include an
extension", and I interpreted that as a recommendation, not as a
requirement. By weighting the two options: deviating from upstream's
name, and not following the recommendation, I chose the latter, with the
hope to receive some feedback on the choice. Do you confirm I really
should drop the .sh and chose a different name?

Cheers,
