I see two option: *Handle it Geodata like a file and allow uploads of KML/GPX/GeoJSON to Commons. *Handle it in a Geo-database (Postgresql/PostGIS) where you could make complex queries, etc. I would prefer the second way. We have also to keep in mind that some geodata are not only big but have also a complex structure, so e.g. the border of russia is composited from different parts (border to Country A, border to Country B, ...) and you want to reuse these elements to define e.g the order of Country A. OpenStreetMap datastructure can handle such things by using Nodes,Ways and Relations. And we know how we can link between both projects from WIWOSM. Also for Queries we have software with Overpass-API/Overpass-turbo. On the other side the maintaining of a full OSM software stack seems more complex than the file based approach.
