Debian's tool needs a page that lists links to tarballs?  I can add that
feature to the web api.
Does it need to find signature files as well?

The advantage of using web api is that I can filter out unnecessary files.
For example, in general, you don't want to treat "snapshot" releases as
upstream updates; they may not be as stable as real releases.   0.9.15-p2
is the exception, and I can include them as I wish.   And of course you
don't want to include bleeding-edge tarballs, as they may even be broken.
