Well, this is sort-of how FOSS works; Rafael Ferreira and Baurzhan 
Muftakhidinov pointed me to this workflow, now I fed it to you, and 
someday you'll surely give hints to somebody else.

OTOH, the submitting process in D-L is clearly quite non-intuitive, 
despite being rather logical once you have gone through these steps 
first time. Don't know exactly how it could be explained better, or 
being made more visible.
