We discussed this issue during UDS, and agreed that a field that allows the developer to just input a URL pointing at the code would be ok.
This could enable developer to submit code from other sources (like other code hosting solutions), not only ppas.
It would also have the advantage that the package could be uploaded to a ppa that isn't owned by the user that's currently logged in, and it wouldn't need to contact LP to figure out the list of available PPAs as part of the form setup, so it would be a bit more responsive.
