You’re welcome. I’m partly just scratching my own itches. ;)

Oops, yes, I forgot about the archive format mismatch.

To avoid adding a dependency on tar to the distribution, we (i.e. Taco 
and maybe me) must handle archive conversion on the server or in git 
checkout. (In the latter it’s just a parameter, but I can’t access the 
code ATM.)

Ehm, no. Have a look into
https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/presvoz/ and
https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/t-handlecsv/

While they should look like e.g.
https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/president/
That’s also just a git checkout (still as .tar.gz).

All top-level files get deleted by the installer ATM; I’ll suggest to 
Hans to move them into docs/... instead.

Yes, we’ll fix that.

yes

no, see above
