You could use keywords. But I think you misunderstand the idea. What I 
had in mind (and it was just a quick thought thrown out) is something 
like this:

* developer create software, submits to pypi where all python software
   lives
* plone.org admin or develop himself wants software to appear on
   plone.org, so creates a product in plone.org/products, selects the
   'pull updates from pypi' checkbox and enters the distribution name

at that point plone.org can fully automatically receive updates from 
pypi and show them on plone.org. I did not suggest that plone.org would 
somehow automatically discover things on pypi - just that it would be 
nice if it was possible if you could link a plone.org product with a 
package on pypi and have plone.org pull updates from pypi.

I know it is. Fact remains that people still do not seem to upload to 
plone.org even now that uploading is that simple.

Wichert.
