Might be worth doing. There's something we have been discussing in
infrastructure that seems related to this: namely how we communicate
the support level or 'officialness' of a service.
The current proposal is to use domain names to do this, ie, if it's
fedoraproject.org it's a fully supported official service, if it's
fedorainfracloud its less official and supported, and if it's
fedoracommunity.org it's something that the community is
providing with no particular support. There would likely be some other
domains involved, but this would allow us to use our current RFR
(request for resources) process for "official" services, but allow
other services to use other processes that are lower barrier, etc.
Then if later some fedoracommunity service turned out popular/useful,
it could graduate to a fully supported service, or in turn some
currently official service could move out to a fedoracommunity service
and if no one helped support it eventually go away.
