And yours, kraxel's, mine, kolab, packman, suser-guru (I think).   Now build a 
repodata community around them (see below)!

Christoph use your account at gwdg and start buidling the structure above.  It 
would be a good start and it would give insight what is needed.  You can even 
link your own and kraxel's and mozilla repodata into that structure.
