I don't think anything was decided upon along those lines you were
asking for. Tim wrote up a draft for a high level agreement and I made
some changes he seemed to be unhappy with.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/RepositoryCollaboration
You can find the original draft in a previous revision. I haven't had
time to followup through FESCo or other repository maintainers yet
though Rex Dieter did add a acknowledgment. If they find this or the
previous draft useful, we can push through this. If other repository
maintainers are watching the discussions, do provide some feedback.

We generally avoid pointing to third party repositories to avoid any
potential legal risks. EPEL FAQ mentions centos.karan.org (in a positive
way) since it is a simple rebuild of Fedora Extras and would only
contain patent encumbered Free and open source software just like Fedora.
