I think the main technical things are (off the top of my head)
* Backend storage.  Probably fairly significant chunks as you're going
to want to keep releases (tree + ISOs), development (tree at least),
potentially test releases if they don't want/can't host themselves
* Sync mechanism.  We don't currently have a good way for these sorts of
things to get their bits onto above backend storage.  The "add an rsync
to an internal server that can run as a cronjob" really only gets us so
far.  I expect that the secondary arches would far prefer a push
mechanism.
* Need a good way to kick off the secondary arch builds.  This isn't the
highest priority, but it is eventually needed

Then, there are the more fuzzy things like
* How do we get bugs reported and ensure that arch groups find out about
bugs that are arch specific without adding much (if any) overhead for
everyone else.  
* How do we make it easy for patches to flow in, although this problem
with one SCM that's external.  Although there's then a need for a policy
around how to give commit access or not
