out what F-Droid and fdroidserver are.  Plus it will show up on the
gitorious git repo, and will automatically be included in the Python
packaging, where it will be pushed to pypi and other places.

+F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software)
+applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse,
+install, and keep track of updates on your device.
+
+The F-Droid server tools provide various scripts and tools that are used to
+maintain the main F-Droid application repository. You can use these same tools
+to create your own additional or alternative repository for publishing, or to
+assist in creating, testing and submitting metadata to the main repository.
