Who is going to do the testing and certification? It's a lot of work,
and not particularly rewarding. And I can guarantee that sooner or later
some developers will feel personally maltreated by any such group.
Probably the easiest workable solution is something like the Debian
unstable/testing process, whereby packages are uploaded to unstable, and
migrate to testing after meeting certain criteria (no new serious bugs,
installs with only other testing packages, etc.)
But I'd settle for just getting people to use one repo, rather than
setting up there own.
