This is superficial, and what results in a mess (afaict)
if you do not implement something deeper.

You MUST have: registered contributors, bug tracking system, a solid
dependency scheme, multiple levels (e.g., incoming -> for testing
-> current -> old), heavy security, and the ability to integrate with
existing (larger in size and scope) archives.
