Well, I'm not sure if I got it correctly, but as far as I understood the 
policies, you need...

* Spin SIG's approval to get your kickstart file into the GIT repo

* Board's approval to be able to use the Fedora trademark, which 
requires you to only use software that is in Fedora

* Rel-Eng's approval, which includes hosting on spins.fp.o and the 
release of the spin together with a specific version of Fedora, so that 
you can e.g. make it into the release notes or so

 From my understanding, one should be able to get Spin SIG's approval 
(for the technical side) and board's approval (for the legal / trademark 
side) and host the spin then somewhere else, without having rel-eng's 
approval. That way, you should be able to call it "Fedora [Something] 
Spin" without having it hosted on spins.fp.o...

But that's just how I got it. Might be wrong, though.
