I'd much rather not do this for a couple reasons:
1. CentOS Extras shouldn't overlap with EPEL.
2. If there are reasons to customize/patch some of these things for the
CentOS infrastructure, perhaps they belong in a new/separate repo --
especially considering centos-extras is enabled by default.

Isn't there some configuration management system in place? Or maybe I'm
misunderstanding the question...?

Are you planning to have a testing/staging Koji instance running for people
to QA?
