yes, that's not scope of this paper - it just talks about
the source repositories. other things, like QM guidelines,
automatic mass build tests, will come later ...

Well, the vendor name has to be globally unique by definition,
and is assigned manually. "vendor" here means a party who has 
its own branches, naturally a distro or something similar 
(but not the original authors - they run under "UPSTREAM.*")

Where do a dates appear there ? 
Version numbers are natually very different from dates, and
using dates as versions is generally not a good idea.
