  I've figured that was more appropriate for non arch:all packages.  Or is it because it is arch:all, that it would be appropriate?  I'll investigate it.

  Hmm...  Thought I'd at least pushed all but the new tag...  In any case, that's done now.

   I've not seen that brought up before.  I have a tendency to default to the git URL, though it is true that there may be places where the firewalls are locked  down such as to block the git port...

   Up to you, of course.  So, should I contact you when I next need a sponsor for this one?

    For a package (multimail) I'm working on adopting, yes.  Also, recently, for my postnews package where it was my first upload of it since I became a DM.  Not counting my (currently, 10) pkg-perl packages (which do not use the DM concept but where I am noted as an uploader) I have three other packages where I'm already listed for DM upload rights for the package, plus one other I'll be asking for it when I next update the package.
