This is good; thanks.

Is there a list of who is currently responsible for uploading each
binary?

Perhaps that list could maintained as a comment with name and email in
index.html, next to the line for each binary.

Last time, it took a while for the Win32 package to show up. I could
take over that responsibility if whoever is doing it now wants a
break. 

If someone responsible for a binary disappears, we need a protocol for
replacing them. I'm sure people will normally give notice, but bad
things do happen. Having a name and email for them will give us a way
to find out what's up. Or to let them know someone else is
volunteering to give them a break.
