This approach completely disregards the very common example of "I'm an upstream maintainer of a cool project. I want to package and maintain it for Fedora." Under your approach, they'd first have to become involved in other projects before being allowed to add their package. This is unacceptable and would basically guarantee that no upstream would willingly involve itself with Fedora.
+1000 and completely -1 on Jóhann's idea: sponsor-sponsee relation in Fedora always had an element of mentoring. Many packagers-to-be could be very bright people (like Stephen's author of the upstream package) but they need just a little bit help to get through intricacies of the Fedora packaging process.
