hurm ... on another look at it at a different perspective ... MyFedora
could be where the all the UI improvements to be done .. and let
packagedb as one of the backend providers for MyFedora .. and instead
of packagedb become the centralized everything all-about-packages site
with bodhi and koji details are also queried there, myfedora could be
the place which connects packagedb, bodhi, koji, and the rest of the
infrastructure ...

and yes .. both idea sounds great :D
