Might be interesting for those reading in Russian:
http://www.altlinux.org/Руководство_по_gear
(the article looks at several distinct types
of package-in-git maintenance)

PS: folks, if my references to ALT or pages in Russians
hurt anyone's eye please don't hesitate to just tell so;
my reason is that some of the pitfalls are known already,
and some of them the hard way (it took us ~four years to
understand that some RPMs are better maintained as SRPMS
even now, for example).
