With the decentralization of Pd lib version control it is hard to locate / identify upstream source repositories. Would it be feasible and useful to generate (and regularly update) an overview of forks based on http://git.puredata.info/cgit/, to be referenced from http://puredata.info/docs/developer/GettingPdSource?
I believe it would be hard to maintain such an overview. Who has to maintain such a list? How can you control that people adhere to the standards?
I would rather propose adding some mandatory meta information to deken uploads. A package that can be downloaded from puredata.info should at least contain the information which sources it was built from.
Further, I think it is the duty of the maintainer of a fork to make clear what the origin of the fork is.
If those two things are considered, we have transparency and identifying upstream should be feasible.
