Actually, I had a discussion with the Fedora Hosted admins about this on
Friday. We determined that Chromium is NOT in violation of the current
policy on repos. Basically, the only two rules are: must be a compatible
license and must not be on the ForbiddenItems list.

My proposal is more of a marketing formalization of this policy: that
repos can be kept unofficial, but still on a fedora*.org domain so that
we retain the mindshare (as opposed to having joesrepo.geocities.com,
for example).
