I don't think there is any way infrastructure could commit to hosting
and updating and managing "something" that isn't even outlined yet. ;) 

If someone wished to make an application that does this, I would
suggest the following: 

* Make sure it grows an upstream community and is NOT just Fedora
  specific. This could be something other projects use and getting them
  involved could add a lot of manpower. 

* To be more Fedora Infrastructure friendly, I would suggest avoiding
  java or ruby and look at python frameworks/solutions. 

* Make sure to have at least 2 people who know the code/can update/fix
  things around. If you only have one primary coder, and they aren't
  available the app may be in trouble. 

* Offer to help test and setup instances and train infrastructure people
  in how it works and how to manage it. 

I do hope some folks will work on something like this... it looks like
it might have a good niche. :)
