Sources in someone's home directory can't be used for /contrib, since
the source juicer build daemon used to build contrib packages won't be
able to find them there.

Isn't "SFW contrib" just the Companion CD with a new name?
It unfortunately falls into the same trap as any SFW change - not enough
people to do the work, and given the way Source Juicer works, seems
mostly pointless.
