If there was a clear set of guidelines I could try and brush up my spec 
skills and add a few packages I value but which are not part of the 
repository.

I would be willing to maintain them but would be unable to build them on 
all supported systems. So if anything could be arrange so I could build 
them on my own Centos 4 system(s) first and then put them up to be build 
for the other supported versions.

I could do with a project leader in this as I sometimes need to be 
reminded of things to be done.

With people like me adding and supporting only some packages the drops 
might become a flood.
