What about tar-only projects (like lisp-magick (which I recently
requested here)). I cannot put anything on your mirror. I just would
like to have lisp-magick installable, since it is a dependency of my
project. I could ask the maintainer of lisp-magick if he allows me to
host lisp-magick in an own repo and send you this. But I actually dont
know if thats good. Shouldnt it be better the other way?
