I would personally advise against this way forward. I'd like to suggest
an alternative: 

* Gather folks interested in this (you should be able to see some from
  this thread). Perhaps announce that you are forming a group to look
  into this. 

* Get together and write up a wiki page / detailed proposal, answering: 

- How would this work?
- What resources would you need?
- What impact does it have on maintainers? users? release engineering?
- Would this work alongside the current setup? Or would it be one or
  the other?
- Try and answer questions raised by folks in this thread. 
- Try and list advantages. Why would we want to do this? what does it
  get us?

* Post again once you have details and ask for more feedback. 

* Repeat cycle until you find it's ready and then ask fesco to take a
  look. 

Just a suggestion...
