+Probably the biggest problem with dgit right now is that it is only
+useable for DDs.  This is particularly galling for a tool which is
+especially useful for users, downstreams, mentees, and so forth.
+
+There are two obstacles to widening the access, relating to the
+archive and to the git server.
+
+Firstly, dgit needs to query the archive to find the current version
+of the package and obtain a copy of the .dsc.  At the moment there is
+no official interface which provides this data.  There is the rmadison
+server but it sometimes serves stale or wrong data and there is no
+authentication - that is, there is no way for the client to tell that
+the data is accurate.  So what dgit does right now is ssh to coccia
+and run SQL commands against its mirror of the ftpmaster database.
+This is obviously mad.  ftpmaster have promised me a proper query
+service API (via HTTP and TLS).
+
+Secondly, dgit is currently using alioth as its git server, and the
+collab-maint group there for authentication.  This is not ideal for a
+number of reasons.  Alioth does a lot of other things and is therefore
+less secure and reliable than would be ideal.  dgit's required
+authentication model is not a very good fit for alioth's
+infrastructure.  We intend to move this to a VM of its own - I've
+spoken to DSA (in the person of Tollef) about this.
