Sugar Labs maintains its own fork of addons.mozilla.org for Sugar
activities: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/

Would be great if more people wanted to adapt AMO to non-Mozilla uses
and share the cost of upstreaming those modifications.

Implementation wasn't really long nor complex, but you need to decide
if you really want to replace distributions as the means to distribute
your software.
