Comment(by erinn):

 Do you want upload access or do you want to get Juan upload access? I
 think it is actually more important to get the rpms into Fedora than our
 repos.

 As for upload access, I don't have any control over that. Adding weasel to
 cc.

 For actually uploading the rpms, right now it is kind of complicated (or a
 mess) because I use one of my keys to sign the rpms and also the repos
 they are in (each rpm dir serves as its own rpm repository). Someone would
 need to figure out how to generalize that so that more people can sign the
 repos in the normal rpm-distro way, and I have too many very high priority
 things on my plate right now; there is no way I will have time to look at
 this between now and, let's say, Nov 3. But I may be able to automate some
 of it by then, since that is one of my "very high priority" things, which
 could make it easier.

 So, to summarize this already long-winded comment:

 1. get the rpms into Fedora first. that's where most of the users are. I
 don't have stats, but I don't think our rpm repos have many users.

 2. ask weasel about upload access

 3. find a way for me to generalize the rpm repos such that multiple
 uploaders can do it (giving me a document or explaining how other distros
 do it here is fine)

 4. ask me again in a month?
