Issues with hosting space seems like the only reason to not do so, but if funds can be found to provide such, it seems like a great way to build community and attract developers. Asking for space (or money to provide it) may also be a great way to get funding, with easily observable results. Perhaps Google, Red Hat or Canonical would be interested in funding?
