It is time for us to drop the exception in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#We_are_Upstream
Insist that we use
fedorahosted.org or other project hosting websites
whenever we are upstream for a project? It certainly makes it easier for
others to consume our bits when they don't have to crawl through source
rpm packages. SRPM dumps are a horrible way to manage upstream source
code anyway.
I remember an old thread where it was agreed by all participants in
general that using any kind of hosting beside srpm was a must in fedora
(be it in
fedorahosted.org, a simple html page with downloads, a project
in savannah or wherever).
