Good idea.

I would just remove the "only" from "Releases: source code only". Maybe 
say "Releases: source code at the minimum" ?  It's not a problem to have 
some projects also release binaries, is it?

Shouldn't there be also something about a minimum documentation? Not 
necessarily doc on source code, but doc on the project (minimal web 
site,...)?

I can also confirm that Bertrand was talking about this to me at 
Budapest.  So "ages >= 2 months".  :-)
