Speaking for sip and PyQt only...

Sources and snapshots will (obviously) be on Riverbank. There are no such 
things as sip and PyQt patches. I would prefer that these were not duplicated 
anywhere else - but I won't (and can't) stop anybody doing so. My reason is 
simply that I want to minimise the number of older versions out there.

I will not keep binary packages on Riverbank - this is as much a bandwidth 
issue as anything else. I am happy to link to other sites that are carrying 
binary packages - so long as I am confident that those packages will be 
maintained over time. In the past people have created packages for their own 
platform and I've linked to them, but those packages have rarely been 
maintained. The sort of formalisation you are discussing is good as far as I 
am concerned.

I would also like to keep a list of package maintainers so that I can give 
them some warning of a new release.
