It is simple, actually. When a user uploads a package, they should be given
rights to remove it if need be. Simply claiming an orphan wouldn't grant the
rights. That way only mods and original uploaders would get permission to
remove packages and it wouldn't be prone to abuse. It would also cont
I uploaded a package that has the source included. The wiki mentioned binaries
but nothing about languages like bash or Python that don't need to be compiled.
