It may or may not be what you want, but what you've described sounds very close to what Mark Shuttleworth articulated as the vision behind launchpad. https://launchpad.net/ I'm not sure if any other distros besides Ubuntu are using it yet, but certainly things will improve geometrically as they start to. You may want to investigate using it and/or offering to plug the functionality you want into it.
