Guys,

Right, that all said about rejected uploads being ephemeral, mainly to
to avoid *cruft* (let aside malicious attacks) in LP and polling LP
API for "accepted uploads" strategy working for now ... the whole
experience is not great.

In times of dput-ng [1] for which we can create nice pre-upload hooks
using LP API (permissions, version collision, quota, and so on), we
could certainly do an extra effort on the LP-side to return and store
an unique upload identifier that would allow us to also create
post-upload hooks  for inquiring/enforcing results.

It might not be trivial since it will involve a mechanism to send
information back from the s/ftp server, but we could possibly tweak
the client transport to fetch the upload identifier from the server
filesystem (or such).

We will also operate on the assumption that upload email notification
are good for people (inbox, ML, etc) and this initiative is not an
attempt to replace them, on the other hand, the automation-front tasks
could benefit a lot from a more assertive and responsive integration
path.
