Hear hear!

Yes, it is taking a while for the infrastructure for community
involvement, but is it getting there.  In the mean time, there are a
number of external repos that would probably host RPMs for you after
making the "easy patches" for testing.  Posting the fact that such and
such a patch applies cleanly and you are using it day to day would
probably help.
