About have threads for discussing software, reporting bugs, etc, IMHO is a good idea.

The problem I see is people adding software to ITT but not to maemo.org/downloads.
Maemo.org/downloads would be useless because people would go always to ITT to search software.

It would be cool and very useful a way for sync ITT Downloads and maemo.org/downloads. If people add software in ITT send it to maemo.org and if people add software in maemo.org have a thread where discussing this software in ITT.
I think maemo.org/downloads have an API or soon will have(I am not sure, probably X-Fade could comment this).
