Maybe for some people, yes. But for others, no. To give an example from
my personal point of view: All free apps that I'm interested in are
packaged already in Extras. So I would simply not know what to package
if I'd like to become a Extras contributor now if I wasn't one already.
And that's a problem we should solve sooner or later to get more people
with fresh ideas involved in Fedora Extras.
Just my 2 cent.
