sounds like an useful addition. Would alo help avoid uploading too 
suun after new upstream release has occured. It happens from time to 
time to "ugh, I upgraded the package yesterday and today upstream 
released again".

UDD integration? :)

the short description is available in the [more] baloon next to 
package name. It is not kept as a link hint, as that would enlarge the 
page with a lots of info noone would look at. Instead, that is loaded 
on demand.

PET development is understaffed. Commit access to be given in a blink 
of an eye to anyone interested in improving it :)
