we could do this, but one thing to keep in mind is that submitting to
redhat contrib is a pain in the butt since their connections time out
very quickly ( even for uploaders ) . You need a T1 to succesfully
get anything uploaded there ( and even then, a T1 doesn't ensure 100%
success ) 

I've also thought of this and I've uploaded some of my packages to rh
contrib  I think it is a good idea. It goes against the goals of our
project to hoard our packages. The only consideration is that we don't
want to work too hard doing this.
