I don't think that storing it on Alioth for now would be a problem.
If DTSAs have SHA-1 or SHA-256 checksums for the fixed packages and
PGP signatures, compromised binaries would be noticed. Access to
security.d.o is restricted because of embargoed disclosure, which is
not the case for secure-testing.
