I'm fine with having you on the team, though I am very surprised that
you added yourself to the project without asking any of the existing
project administrators to do it.  Please do not ever do that again on
any of the alioth projects where I am involved.  I prefer to trust
that the project administration is done by the project administrators,
and not the alioth administrators. :)

Do you have a concrete suggestion?  sql-ledger is the only package
where I tried the current approach, and that approach is unrelated to
the use of dpatch.  I maintain several projects using dpatch where the
orig.tar.gz tarball is the upstream tarball, so it is perfectly
possible to do that.

I am all for the rest of the suggestions. :)
