I wouldn't go as far as mandating (or even just offering incentives for) use of Garage as there are lots of valid reasons why developers may not want to use it. Besides, publishing in extras also ensures source code availability so isn't the push for extras enough to cover the disappearing developer case?
I've been trying to move past that word Garage, as it has turned out to be a totally unnecessary stumbling block, but I admit the original error was mine in the first place.

Can we agree that SOME sort of public content management has distinct advantages for the community and especially end-users, over private content management? Doesn't the latter work against the very concept of FOSS?
