The only thing we can do as Council, is to facilitate development in ways the maintainers ask us to. For example we can talk to techstaff team and if there is space, host a repository for these files, or if there are available funds and community desires to expand our infra a bit to make sure such a repository fits. We can add a banner on maemo.org, that kind of thing
no ones expecting the board to put down their duties and start developing pr1.4, but setting up a repo and doing basic stability testing is something that would probably be best for an established member of the community. theres no central place for devs to submit packages, and no review process. probably wont happen unless someone experienced and responsible individually steps up, but if the board or someone on it could do it, they could get the community behind it more easily.
