Perhaps an 'epel-plus' repo would make sense (someday)? Or an epel service for hosting misc repos for newer-than-rhel packages.
Not a big deal, just mulling that the qpid packages are not centos-specific (sorry, I know this is the centos-devel mailing list)...
Well, the idea is definitely to provide "a general solution for hosting repositories for newer-than-RHEL-packages", if you accept that as a description for what SIG variants do.
In discussions with Fedora folks, everyone seems fine with EPEL sticking to it's original mission (and accepted brand.) There have been discussion in Fedora for something Robyn calls EPIC (Extra Packages for Infrastructure and Cloud), which is somewhat what you describe - items that are newer and faster-moving.
Regardless, I think the first part stands - CentOS variant SIGs are able to maintain newer-than-RHEL packages in their own repos. If they want/need to share maintainership with another SIG, then all need to decide which SIG has the package and maintain it as if in a higher tier, meaning >1 can rely upon it.

But these newer versions are not really CentOS-only? They could be used with RHEL if someone wanted/needed them?
Perhaps point users to the newer versions in the OpenStack (RDO) repos? Or create a separate qpid repo where newer versions can always be had (for use with either CentOS or RHEL)?
Seems cleaner (IMHO) than muddling the packages with a general repo like centos-plus.
Maybe the question is whether CentOS is providing a general solution for hosting repositories for newer-than-rhel packages?
thats what Plus is for - a generic repo, the SIGs can chose to run their own if they want
