Not to put a damper on your idea, but this is precisely one of the goals
of Fedora Community. See:
http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx/msg01493.html

That email doesn't put it very well, but I think you'll find that it
will cover a lot of the bases you're interested in. We're hopeful to
have something live within the next few weeks.

Once we've got that up and running, there will undoubtedly be
functionality that is in your list that we have not provided yet, and I
think adding those apps to the Fedora Community environment will be a
great GSOC.
