If someone wanted to review the tarballs in your upload request
individually, it would help to have one URL per tarball.  So, even if you
have directory traversal set, please include the tarball URLs for those of
us who would like to click on the links in the message, rather than run
the script.

Besides, your script will pull in the "prev" version tarballs...
