I just wanted to make a note and remind everyone that currently the 
repo-submit tool is located on what is technically an internal dev 
resource.  If the instructions for dogfooders is going to go public 
then I suspect the repo-submit tool will either a) run out of drive 
space or b) crash due to load.

What kind of user count are you expecting?  If it's more than 5-10 
items a day then we will need to find a new home for repo-submit.

Note: the 5-10 number is purely a SWAG I pulled out of the air - I have 
no idea how many connections-per-second the repo-submit service can 
handle but I do know that drive space is going to be a concern.
