We're definitely encouraging people to reach out on items the
community might find interesting.  Florian's example is great, and
we've also highlighted new application streams like postgresql 13 as
they become available.

I think for now we're going to do it on an ad hoc basis until we get
more of the CentOS Stream structure in place.  As that gets rounded
out and the contribution process gets determined, we'll need to
consider how best to work this both from things the RHEL teams are
working on and for things the CentOS Stream community would like to
work on.  In the meantime, start small, evolve :)
