Just to resurrect this discussion, we now have Node.js packaged in
Rawhide and the -testing repository of F18[1]. It's not yet being
pushed to stable because it's not guaranteed ABI-stable until 0.10.0 is
released, but it's sufficiently-packaged that you could start the
process of packaging etherpad-lite now if you want to.

Go forth and hack!
