Yon,
You are right that packages are developed in a few months at most but they will be around for a while, and they will need new features and requirements... not only simple packages like calendar but imagine the more complex like CMS. CMS could become an entity in itself, with 3-4 develpers working only on that.
Anyway, as I said earlier I do not think that individuall bboard is good idea, we do not want to atomize the community. I was just suggesting a logo and some cathy phrase on top of the page, particularlyt for those packages that can be more relevant.
I mentioned Jakarta since I understand it as a number of projects with a common vision and community. The personalization empowers the people behind that particluar subproject. You might even find that a company wants to sponsor a particular subproject, they could put a small banner in *that* page...
