re https://tails.boum.org/todo/fix_Internet_FTP_support/ : See https://bugs.torproject.org/1259 and https://bugs.torproject.org/3290 . You probably won't be able to fix this bug. re https://tails.boum.org/todo/distribute_source/ : There is a block-deduplicating archival system called ‘venti’, generally used in the Plan 9 community and available for other platforms in ‘plan9port’. I have never successfully used it, I would expect it to contain security bugs (mainly lots of integer overflows), and I have no idea how to configure it to forbid writes by unauthenticated users, but it might be sufficiently better than nothing to justify using it until you find something better. (Make sure you upload separate packages to it as separate, rather than uploading a tarball -- I have no reason to believe that it would do a good job of chopping your data into blocks.) re https://tails.boum.org/todo/more_stable_WhisperBack_SMTP_relay/ : If all else fails, you could consider using Mixminion to try to send a bug report. (This would require some testing to determine whether it is reliable enough to be worth providing the option.) Also, you could consider asking Tor Project, Inc. to host another server to receive messages for you.
