Contrary to popular belief, we (the GDP) don't require submissions in 
any particular format. We have plenty of monkeys that can convert just 
about anything to our fancy internal format. We do our best to 
communicate this fact to other people in Gentoo, but apparently it's a 
tough job, as I don't recall much submissions in non-XML form.
