Idea for a Debian QA service: monitoring install size with dependencies
This is an idea. I don't have the time to work on it myself, but I thought I'd throw it out in case someone else finds it interesting.
When you install a Debian package, it pulls in its dependencies and recommended packages, and those pull in theirs. For simple cases, this is all fine, but sometimes there's surprises. Installing mutt to a base system pulls in libgpgme, which pulls in gnupg, which pulls in a pinentry package, which can pull in all of GNOME. Or at least people claim that.

Chris Lamb: Salsa ribbons
Salsa is the name of the collaborative development server for Debian GNU/Linux and is the replacement for the now-deprecated Alioth service.
To make it easier to show the world that you use Salsa, I've created a number of Github-esque ribbons that you can overlay on your projects' sites by copying & pasting the appropriate snippet into your HTML.
