You have to be able to edit files in extras cvs which means general
distro users, no.  In the merged Core+Extras all the current RH
packagers are going to have to get sponsored in so they can continue to
maintain their packages so they'll have access to it.

For the packageDB, I've included a way to sign up to watch commit mail
and watch bugzilla mail.  We might want to enable this for
non-contributors but currently it's not easy to enable this without
being in the Fedora Account System.  We might be able to solve that by
allowing people to sign up for a "I'm not a contributor and don't want
to sign the CLA" group where anyone can sign up, add their bugzilla
email account, and add themselves as watchers.  This group wouldn't have
to sign the CLA and wouldn't be able to make any changes to code or
documentation; just sign up for notifications.
