David,
 This sounds like a great idea. A couple of ideas for you.

1. work on learning the redhat-config-packages infrastructure or at
least understanding it.

2. make tweaks to the ui and talk to katzj and bfox about them

3. be prepared for apt repos and yum repos to be the same thing,
hopefully, in the future.
