You might have snipped a wee bit too much there.  But the short answer
is: got a concrete proposal?

A longer answer: a concrete example that exists today is Apache
Extras, which has minimal oversight.  The reason that this particular
question has come up in this context is that the request was coupled
with a request to make use of *.openoffice.org.  It is that use of the
brand that will require compliance with the branding policy, and as a
necessary consequence, considerable oversight.

If somebody wishes to propose one or more external repositories
without that additional requirement, there likely is nothing here that
needs discussion outside of this mailing list.  If somebody wishes to
propose something concrete with that additional requirement, it is
incumbent on them to address all of the issues that such a proposal
creates.
