Whether this is a good idea depends on a decision that, IIRC, we have not yet talked about: Will you only provide packages of the released version, or also of (usable) development versions? In the latter case, I think it would be a good idea to keep documentation sources and TeX input file sources together. Otherwise you'd have to rebuilt all packages from texlive-documentation-source and texlive-languages-source just because one language package was updated on CTAN and mirrored in TeXLive. And generally I wonder: Don't you generate most of the documentation from dtx files, and many input files from the same dtx files? Then why not build most documentation packages from the same source as the TeX input files? Or are the input files already included in the TeXlive repository in their extract version?
