Questions on package adoption conventions

[Mark Geisert]

Q1: Does a new maintainer typically put out a new package version upon 
take-over, or can he/she run with the existing version number and just 
keep bumping the build number (e.g. for bug fixes)?

Q2: Does the location hosting a test build for external review have to be 
the same location used to host final builds?

Q3: What kind of external access is typically used for hosting final 
builds?  I've run a micro-ISP that allowed on-request FTP access, by IP 
address, to customers, but have not needed to run anonymous FTP to this 
point.  What about SSH/SFTP?  Is there such a thing as anonymous SFTP? 
Does HTTP and/or HTTPS access need to be provided?

Detailed suggestions for that last question would be welcomed.  I'd like 
to make it least-hassle for reviewers and whatever a source install of my 
packages would require, but still keep the hosting machine as secured as 
can be managed.
