That would clarify things, and let users know who is providing the service. Openness is good.

DFSG is fairly well-known and respected.

As I suggested on #lisp, a system where each project can make a cclan/ directory in the project-root, and some script is run as cron-job that gathers files from cclan/ for CCLAN-inclusion might be the best solution. It will probably also make cclan and cl.net work well together and be attractive for people with lisp packages. CCLAN is lacking a central upload hub where (DFSG) lisp-projects can easily join CCLAN and upload updates and packages.

Maybe http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6049&group_id=1 is a good place to start/copy from.
