we can use the news system and a special "add a release" form > it 
would produce a standard news entry for the project with a special 
flag, and the box 'newest releases' on the savannah front page would be 
made by looking at all the project news with that special flag.
On the savannah home would be shown the project name and version as a 
link to the news on the concerned project.

About the file release system, I dont like it much either (I only 
manage my project via scripts, so scp do the job better) but what we 
can easily  do is
- recommand that  /upload file have a similar tree (for example 
/upload/$project/$version/$package.$format (as .deb, .rpm)
- for project that follow well this kind of tree (to avoid PHP to do 
too many test, we can simply recommand that project following it check 
a box in a form in the project admin page), do some basic php to get 
this showed in a similar way than the SF file release  - and we can an 
add a form that permit uploading new release via SSL  (if feasible). if 
it's not feasible, maybe we can propose a form that will give the use a 
list of command to do the job, or give him a bash script générated from 
the informations he gives on the form.

for example, on the form he give :
- project version
- location serveral package on this HD, as  
/home/dudu/myproject/thisfile.tar.bz2 and 
home/dudu/myproject/thisfile.tar.gz

And he will get a list of commands as
scp -v  /home/dude/myproject/thisfile.tar.bz2 
address@hidden:/upload/$project/$version/
scp -v  /home/dude/myproject/thisfile.tar.gz 
address@hidden:/upload/$project/$version/

or
while read file     do
        scp -v "$file" 
address@hidden:/upload/$PROJECT/$VERSION/
    done <<'EOF'
/home/dude/myproject/thisfile.tar.bz2
/home/dude/myproject/thisfile.tar.gz
EOF

and the job is done.
