I like the idea.
I think we can even setup tests namespace repo for it, which would
ensure all content in this package is %doc only. It does not contain
%post scripts and no executable, unless strictly predefined content.
That CI repo would have more strict access to ensure newcomers cannot
avoid automated checks.
We could ask new contributors to review PRs of candidates and merge and
build them.
I think this package definitely should be part of the distribution.
Other packages should not depend on it, so it would get installed only
by those who want it. New contributors could also be proud once they
have their name in a real package. Don't force anyone, but blocking is
not needed IMHO.
Cheers,
Petr

True. As long as there's a group of experenced folks watching it, that
should be ok.
