In the longer run, the goal is to have many packages in both FC and FE with @redhat.com and community maintainers. Many peripheral end-user packages like gaim, thunderbird, sylpheed, gftp, and others, would greatly benefit from multiple maintainers and the combined man-power because the risk is much lower than core dependency packages. Some more sensitive and likely-to-break-servers packages can have external maintainers who are heavily involved upstream. For example ESR + fetchmail.
in others words, _influenced_ by the community but _controlled_ by Red Hat.
