The mailing list is fine

I'm glad koji works for you. MeeGo uses OBS in much the same way as it uses rpm
vs deb.

There will be a community OBS and discussion around it will be starting today I
hope.

MeeGo core OBS will not be open to "any user"; invitation only based on merit.
If you're not a maintainer, you don't get access. This sounds terrible - and it
would be if OBS were a standalone system. It isn't. It is possible to link OBS
instances in a fairly seamless manner. This allows access to the core OS to be
tightly controlled whilst the community instance is open; we expect  this will
eventually happen.

There are many issues around the deployment of build infrastructure. If you want
to influence the deployment then you have to learn about them and act in a
constructive manner to help resolve them. There's been a lot of discussion on
the Repository Working Group - now called the Community Repository Team (!) take
a look at these discussions for background.

OBS is a GPL application. They wrote the access system for their needs. If an
OBS user needs anonymous users access then they can submit code... the good news
is that this is on the TODO list for the openSuse guys partially thanks to MeeGo
