Dear Sage developers,

I asked the following question in a mail to William Stein and David
Joyner, but William suggested the discussion should be in public.

Yesterday my cohomology package became an optional spkg. But there are
a lot of homological algebra constructions that aren't in, yet.
However, some features (e.g. Massey products) might soon be
implementable. I am not sure yet, but end of next week might be
possible.

Assume that you are expert for a topic X, and there is a spkg about X;
hence, you are a potential reviewer. How soon would you be fed up with
seeing yet another version of the X-spkg? How long (as a rule of
thumb) would you suggest to collect more features before publishing a
new spkg version?

Sage used to have a "publish early and frequently" policy, but I don't
know if it is appropriate for spkgs as well.

Best regards,
   Simon
