I as PostgreSQL RPM maintainer for the PostgreSQL Global Development Group do 
something similar to this using a loose group of volunteers.  I need to get 
GPG signing working, though.  I have usually been able to get RPMs for RHL9, 
8.0, 7.3, and even 6.2 in pretty short order.  Even have a fellow building 
for RHAS for me.  I do the RHL9, 8.0, and Aurora SPARC Linux 1.0 builds 
myself, though.
