I see 2 things that could help:
* use the fedora extras build system and procedures. I find legacy procedures
very complicated. The legacy procedures have merit, there are more
verifications, but maybe such procedures should be used in the future
when there is a community.
* open fedora core to the community. That way people from the community
interested in a package could help maintaining it in core and it would
help a lot when it transitions to legacy. Currently core is closed to
the community and core maintainers often don't collaborate with the
community for packaging issues.
In the current situation somebody interested in a package in legacy have
to learn everything about that package, knowing that he has no control
on the package in current and devel release. Co-maintainership in core
with community members would help a lot having somebody still taking care
of the package in legacy.
