Nice, especially the usage of the icon :-)
In KStuff CVS there are also patches for koffice, kcm_icons, boson etc. if
anyone cares to implement this.

It would probably still make sense to have the providers.xml file on
kde-look.org but to dynamically rotate the download server.
This can be done on providers.xml level or on IP level (load balancing of
download.kde.org). Just in case...

The only alternative is to have trusted people control which kind of

hotstuff web interface supports such a submission queue already.
