I sometimes makes a direct changes to some scripts (not particularly on
yours Dan, but in general), when i saw some security updates needed or
the maintainers is MIA and i know it won't break things.
But there are times when i thought it was a minor changes and turns out
upstream made a *major* changes and i missed the ChangeLog, so it broke
some other scripts.

At least we could catch most of build failures asap with our CI, thanks
to Andrew's work.

Some were not catched because it built fine on CI, especially those
bugs that were occurring during runtime, but we could find out when
users starts reporting.

So my suggestions for those who have knowledge on how to submit an
updates via github/gitlab, please do so. At least we can tag your
handler directly without having to check the submitter's email.
It's easier when everyone is doing updates via github/gitlab and leave
the submission form *only* for new scripts.
