        Since what you're willing to do is likely to be specific to Emacs
it probably does not make sense to re-use and adapt a generic mechanism. 
Would it be convenient to have a cron script doing the job on a random
GNU server + copy the resulting tarbal on the relevant machine (alpha.gnu.org
I guess) ? Or it can be done on a Debian machine if more convenient for you.

        In any case, I'm unsure how we (savannah-hackers) can help on
this specific issue. Am I mistaken in some way ?

        Cheers,
