Then this have to be changed. And I would be against it. Or it should be 
defined who is "we". Or the packages of club have to be announced on CHRPM. 
If a "volunteer" would package something for club he would be forced to 
cooker then.

But plf relies on main/contrib, doesn't it ? Club is only one place, what do 
you fear ? src.rpm are available, why complicate it ? It would be nice to 
have club-rpm in cooker, but is it a must ?

Why is club everywhere ? 
Maybe the proccess is unclear or the communication failed, but forcing 
volunteers to cooker and state it in an other way is wrong.
