What's the process we're agreeing to exactly? I couldn't figure it
out from the email thread you quoted.
I like the current style of just being able to have a simple link like
http://openfabrics.org/downloads/libibverbs-1.1.1.tar.gz
Is the proposal to change that?
Putting people's login names into the download URL seems like a step
backwards, as we've seen just recently with maintainer changes now
that Bryan and Hal have moved on -- breaking everyone's links just
because of someone changing jobs seems silly. (And these URLs do get
embedded in RPMs etc. so it's worth having a canonical location for
each library)
