I remember kpovmodeler requiring a Qt version that was not yet released or just released. I bet that's the real reason.

I've mailed the packagers each time up to now, so they are for sure aware of the location of the tarball.

Yeah. We also don't mention Ark in the release announcements. We should make a complete list of all applications each time.

On a more serious note, if you want it to be in the release announcement you can ask the MWG (sebas for example) to include a piece for your application. I'm pretty sure you get bonus points if you provide a piece of text.
