If you upload a developer release that you don't have perms on, PAUSE could give an FYI

[neilb]

You don't need indexing permissions to do a developer release, but it would be handy if when you do a developer release, PAUSE checked whether you have indexing permissions, and if you don't, lets you know as an FYI.

This might prevent a gotcha later on.
