I perused the thread, but failed to find any reference to any authoritative statement that fedora infrastructure could not be used for such an effort. Am I missing something?
In fact you are missing the previous thread, which is much longer, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-January/msg02191.html
with, for example: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-January/msg02213.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-January/msg02562.html
It ends with Jef Spaleta telling that it is sad that I voice my concerns without taking the lead: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-January/msg02640.html
I ended up doing it by proposing UAEL, but without much more success even if I took the lead I was shot down by the same Jef, on the metric about packager investment in UAEL... I must say that, personnally for me this was a bit bitter to see that unrealistic things are asked for to shoot down an idea and that involvment is not necessarily enough to get things done when some people oppose.
