if packages feeds are a mess and people with commit access there do 
things you don't like then that's an issue that should be discussed and 
dealt with.

Moving packages you care about in core repo is surely a good solution 
for you and the packages you maintain because you have commit access so 
you don't need to wait for review but for most other contributors it is 
only swapping a relatively small problem (package feeds is a mess) for a 
much bigger one (reviewers are scarce and a lot of stuff especially 
about "optional" packages no core developer cares much about langushes 
for months and bitrots).
