Spacewalk maybe?    

FWIW, I'm thinking about making cobbler-web a seperate package in a 
future release as well (I'm pondering moving to Rails to allow some 
content to be better accessed by ovirt, and also to make better use of 
mcpierce's rubygem-cobbler module), and am considering various upgrades 
related to Cobbler's new ACL support, so there's time to consider 
improvements to the way repos are being managed today as well.  

Ultimately I think where such UI bits go depend on what you would want 
to see.   From the list of functionality we see now I don't see why they 
couldn't be in there.
