I am not sure what you are asking. A repository is a place and they are maintained not by users, but by package maintainers for your distribution. If you want to become a maintainer you get involved in the distribution's community and join groups and learn their package management system by familiarising yourself with their packaging guides and meet with maintainers on IRC.
If you want to install packages then you don't need to make repositories, but you use pre-compiled and maintained packages from the repositories for your distribution or you compile them from source. For the first thing, you use a package manager. For Ubuntu you would use either Synaptic or Adept which are in your menu. Synaptic is found under System, Administration and Adept is under File, Add/Remove... You could also use sudo apt-get install <packagename> from the command line. The disadvantage of this method is that you have to know the package names whereas with the graphical installers you can just select titles from a menu.
