Oops, now I see that Charles actually uploaded new releases to: http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/ I was mistaken since there are some really historical release sources (up to 0.11.2) on ftp.gnome.org as well: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pan/ So that's one step less when making the release.
