Got it. OK, this means my hypothetical client needs to be able to push the URL and a verification checksum. I still think the Description field ought to be extracted at the Fedora end from the SRPM itself.
True, fedora.us is needing more infrastructure like a package registry with webfrontend and a better QA frontend (current bugzilla is not really suitable for the package-submission QA).
We need just a talented webdeveloper who is willing to spend time in such an implementation and/or the configuration of bugzilla ;)
If you guys can task someone to do an XML-RPC service, I'll write the client. I just collaborated with Patrick Lenz over at freshmeat on a similar tool, quite successfully.
