That makes sense. But could we do it transparently, i.e., have people write something like: http://sf.net/project/... in their watchfile and uscan do the translation automatically. Then if something stops working, we either modify the php script or uscan, and only one package needs fixing, rather than hardwiring a hack into all of these watchfiles.
