I will just comment about the technical side, as I have no strong 
opinion for the content of SIG repositories.

I think each repo content should be associated to a tag, and we should 
look at a procedure to transform a mash generated repo (mash dump all 
packages associated to a tag e.g /repos on cbs) to a production 
repository (location, signing, etc...).

In my view decoupling repository creation/koji too much, will make it 
hard to maintain on the long run.

We can have as many destination tags as we want and a package can be 
tagged multiple time, so the SIG can decide to depend on an external 
repository or to ship the packages in their own repo.

What do you think?
