If you can share it I'd be willing to work on it.

That's similar to my plan, but I want each instance to be installed from 
rpm by changing the prefix each time.  This way (as I understand it) it 
would allow each install to be upgraded when the repository upgraded. 
We're doing a few bugzilla hosts now for various folks and I'd be a lot 
more active at keeping everybody up to date if I could do it with yum.
