How about the plans for maybe including a small "questionaire" in the upload-dialog, so it can automatically check which was the last release, which release was now uploaded etc. This way you could ask an uploader easily e.g. "does this release involve BC-break?" or "you can't release a stable - do a beta before" and similar. Also things like "tabs instead of spaces" or so could be automagically checked ... Stefan
