Comment 4 for bug 30415

The main reason this has never been done is that it would involve rearchitecting of the upload service, and few if any other users have ever reported this to be an inconvenience.

It would involve rearchitecting, by the way, because our incoming poppy server has no concept of a persistent upload directory; every upload is made to its own temporary directory, which is then asynchronously processed by a separate process that validates and creates the upload. To provide a persistent upload directory would probably require changing the way poppy stores the data, and would require identifying the user uploading somehow (perhaps based on the gpg key ID being used?) to be able to tell what his directory is. It's not a bad idea, and it's not crazy, but there are a lot of other pressing issues that need our engineering resources too.
