I'm not sure what Open Source projects work like that. All projects I've ever been involved with have some kind of circle of leadership that decides what is released, and when. Sometimes community input plays a larger role, sometimes it is smaller. I think we all agree that Android moving towards being more community driven is a good thing, and should happen rather sooner than later. But at the end of the day, there will always be a single instance calling the shots, and for Android, for the foreseeable future, that will be Google. You really can't expect a random private build that you made to be considered anything other than unofficial. In pretty much any Open Source project I've ever heard of.
