Hmm. Looks like an automatic way of producing this stuff is an idea
who's time has come. There are hundreds of people who announce materials 
available for anonymous FTP. If there were an easy-to-use standard form for 
them to fill out on-line, I'm sure sure it could be popularized quite
quickly. 

In fact, a good standard form would help some people to decide to announce
something that they have been sitting on.

Why? Are you afraid to rub them the wrong way? RMS is *for* the idea of
people charging for services relating to GNU software. Being paid to find
the right software would be a reasonable service.
