A bit of split as these are two topics.

I had second thoughts and I wanted to reply (again to Justin), but forgot. I also wanted to reply in the morning/during the day(both topics), but work got into it and... I agree on question ability, yet even links/packages/sources at some page can't be trusted. But that's really philosophical talk. What got into my mind is, downloads page resp. links and their updates should depend upon community itself. I mean community around each distro, of course. That means package maintainer or even users themselves. Why should be reasonable enough. Because libvirt devs can't track N distros for changes nor they should do so. Here is blunt, straight and simple process. I had sentences before, but this should be better to understand than my gibberish. * new package is built * package maintainer/user whom found out/whoever sends an e-mail to libvirt list like: "Hey, new pkg version for distro XYZ can be found at http://somewhere.tld/foo Could you, please, update your page?" * libvirt dev checks the link - probably some repo browser/tracker - and updates the downloads page And that should be it. I think it could be possible to script some automatic tracking and updating and what not, but - really?
