Knowing something of the amount of work that went into and still does need to be done for just the themes at http://themes.wordpress.net, the size of this task would be phenomenal to get done. Add into that trying to get plugin authors to send updates in, then to be sure which version of WP it is for, then that the person maintaining it will be seen by many users as the first point of contact, then that links may break and authors drop their sites, then that old versions are sought, then guaranteeing some level of performance..... This would be almost a full time job for a considerable amount of time and would be a nightmare at version jump. Get the structure right, then have several people break the task down into much smaller parts and there is a chance it could be done. There is also the chance that people will volunteer for a task that may take a few hours over a week. Looking for someone to do the whole thing - for free - would be pointless. It's HUGE and they'd be answering to too many masters. The bits I wrote above about what the person would have to do don't matter - I'm guessing - but the scope of the task must not be underestimated. Bandwidth isn't an issue. The structure and how it will work day to day is the first thing otherwise it's just never going to happen.
