Next test: I have successfully uploaded a package candidate of 'gnuplot'. Now I go to the gnuplot candidate page and click on [maintain]. Then I get a new page with the text "Here, you can delete a candidate, publish it, upload a new one, and edit the maintainer group". Below this text the page is empty. Above this text there are the usual hackage navigation links. It does not look like a can do a lot with the package candidate so far.

Hackage people, what's the plan here?

My assumption was that "Upload a package candidate" in Hackage 2 was just meant to check for problems in the package (which AFAIK is what "Checking a Cabal package" does in Hackage 1).

It looks like more functionality might be planned, but not implemented? Should we just remove the "maintain" link for now?

It looks like you're correct. I think the simplest thing is indeed to remove the maintain link. The text on upload.html should probably also be changed in that case.

One can upload a package directly from candidacy, called publishing. Literally the only thing missing, and it should have be hard to miss (but in any case), is a link to the page. This is an HTML issue.
