I've asked this question a few times on the maemo IRC channel, but have never gotten a reply. If you have developed a Maemo 5 application, and if you have put it in Extras, is there any reason to have an associated Maemo garage page for it? One can get the the source code from the package page that is created by the autobuilder, so you don't need to upload the source code to the garage to make it available. The garage offers discussion lists, etc, but I've never seen those show any activity. So if you plan to submit your app to Extras, should one just ignore the garage?
