There's already some code in various places (repoman and system-config-repositories in yumex are standalone... I think there's also some code in revisor). But I'm not all that sold on the UI with either... I think the place to start is with writing up some use cases and then trying to do some mockups from there before ever writing any code. Then the tricky part is likely to be doing the config reading/writing in a way that's not lossy. repoman actually has a good start on some of this, but it'd be nice to actually work towards getting that code into yum itself so that every tool doesn't have to re-invent those bits.
