One important thing is that the set of packages included in the RHSCL is 
driven by customer requests, so the way to influence it is to contact 
the Red Hat Customer Support.

But there is another way to provide those packages and make them 
available -- a general collection that will *extend* the RHSCL's 
python27 or python33 collection (for example python27extra collection). 
This collection could be available as part of SCLo effort in CentOS -- 
http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo

However, we're still not ready there, so it is not possible to 
contribute right now. I expect people should be able to contribute in 
few weeks at latest. Please, stay tuned.

Are there any gdal packages in RHEL/CentOS actually? Didn't you mean EPEL?
