there are kmod packages in Fedora, i suggest you look again.
They can be
in other places as well - Also when the kmod specs were
being worked
out - quite a few people got involved, not only from within
the Fedora
community to work on that stuff.

we've not been accepting contrib's from people so far,
unless they are
ready to maintain the spec's for a period of time. And to
be honest,
apart from Tim and his project YumEx, no one else has really
stepped up
and done any similar work for a complete package. Within
packages, the
work by Daniel and even the stuff that you did for yum, was
for CentOS
and will be used in CentOS. So i am not sure how / what you
imply when
you say that no one is doing any contrib stuff here for
CentOS project.

There are no boards, no voting or any such politics on the
CentOS
project. Maybe something in the future, if and when the
developers feel
that the next step should be that way. Whatever we are
doing, is in the
public - if you have issues bring them up.

RPMForge is the best place to push contrib's if you want,
however you
will find that their specifications and requirements will be
just as
stringent, if not more, than what you need to do for us
here.
