I found it, and then I found the ring he's part of (ATrpms, dag, FreshRPMS 
and newrpms).

Hmmm....

Perhaps these people should *be* Fedora extras?  Looks to me like the
community has already evolved a rather well-functioning set of apt
repositories. and I like the no-single-point-of-failure aspect of what
they're doing.

Is there some reason for Fedora not to farm out the extras job to
people who seem already to be doing it competently?
