Well no, it has to be usefull for more then just a few people.

'my-personal-highly-specialized-llvm-git-package' won't necessarily be allowed.
If this is the case for this package I have no clue, have not followed the
thread that closely.

"Make sure the package you want to upload is useful. Will anyone else want to
use this package? Is it extremely specialized? If more than a few people would
find this package useful, it is appropriate for submission."
