Not really.

When you see the build report sent to this list, the packages *are*
available at the public master repository already, i.e. the
fedoraproject.org server at RDU.

 From there, they are synced periodically to download.fedora.redhat.com,
and when that happes is beyond the control of those who can push new
builds to fedoraproject.org.

Further, there is no Extras Updates system except for the script(s) we use
for signing/publishing packages. Luke Macken is working on a web-based and
database-driven updates system. But based on what he has checked in into
fedora cvs, not much is available yet. It looks like it is programmed from
scratch, and since there is no packagedb yet either, it will likely take
some time before something usable becomes available.

HTH.
