Why isn't this published somewhere more openly where non-maemo-talk users will see it?
It was, both in the mailing list and MWKN.
Both of which, I've never heard of--nor any of the folks offline that I know own an N800 have ever mentioned to me. If it's not actually posted on maemo.org (which is SUPPOSEDLY a community site, right?) then how do you expect most device owners to be aware of this? I've seen the Community SSU only ever MENTIONED here and around, but never saw a way to get it or to be involved. Heck, I haunt this place more than the average person (maybe not as much as some of you, mind you).
