Questions on package adoption conventions


Q1: Does a new maintainer typically put out a new package version upon take-over, or can he/she run with the existing version number and just keep bumping the build number (e.g. for bug fixes)?

Q2: Does the location hosting a test build for external review have to be the same location used to host final builds?

Q3: What kind of external access is typically used for hosting final builds? I've run a micro-ISP that allowed on-request FTP access, by IP address, to customers, but have not needed to run anonymous FTP to this point. What about SSH/SFTP? Is there such a thing as anonymous SFTP? Does HTTP and/or HTTPS access need to be provided?

Detailed suggestions for that last question would be welcomed. I'd like to make it least-hassle for reviewers and whatever a source install of my packages would require, but still keep the hosting machine as secured as can be managed.
