If "3-4 people" think they can create and maintain more than 1000 packages alone, let them do it. Thank them for doing it, if those packages seem to work fine for you. Although I don't see that all those packages are up-to-date or moving faster than packages in fedora.us.
Actually, it looks like Matthias at FreshRPMs, who is only one person, has a more updated version of ALSA on his website for Fedora Core 1 than does Fedora Extras. And I don't even think he is maintaining Core 1 anymore. So wise up.

Btw, just a week ago, incidentally, I was pointed to a package in Dag Wieers' repository, which he copied from my fedora.us package in early October, apparently saving him time. He has still not descended from his high horse to reply to my private mail. Though, on the same day he repaired the package silently already.
It's Free software, who cares? Get over it.

They really need to take a hard look at this.
Not fedora.us. Why should the active contributors at fedora.us see existing 3rd party repositories as competition and try to provide the same packages?
Hello, we aren't suggesting competition here! What have we been saying guys? "COOPERATION! COORDINATION!"
