Wait a minute, please. There are no official packaging policies yet. Don't confuse the Fedora Project with fedora.us.
I think that should be a good idea follow Debian package strategy: only one package for a program and there is only one package developer responsible for this package. This way permits send all the programa issues (bugs) to a person and this one can interact with the program maintainer and send him all this bugs. In the Fedora Core (because it is a core) can put all the programs that the people need. Because of this there must be a Fedora Extras repository with all this packages. If some packages have lawsuit problems, we can create another repository (Fedora Ilegal, it's a joke) and put all this software there.
I say this because I've found many RPMs for a program (like Gimp) and this isn't a good way to manage a project: many people doing the same work. And is a bit confusing for the user to have too many options. I need only one RPM that is tested with Fedora Core and with a person whom I can contact in case of problems.
And sorry for my ugly and poor english
