I'd suggest a top-level directory like distrib/ or package/. Hmm, or is there some kind of "standard" on naming such directories to be used by the various package scripts ?
I don't think this is important, all we need is for Alexandre to let them know where he wants the packages placed (via ftp in a dir, via email, etc.)
The important part is to have a process in place like KDE: 1. Alexandre tags the release 2. Creates the source tarballs 3. Notifies the package maintainers 4. Binary package get built 5. Website gets updated with links to src and bins 6. Alexandre sends out the public announcement
This may be too complicated for the snapshots we're doing now, but for 0.9/1.0/1.x it's definitely needed IMO to avoid the rush of users to the site, only to find it not updated, without binaries, etc.
