That _was_ the original idea. And my answer to the remaining question of "who" was: somebody who is interested in that matter _and_ is going to talk as a fedora representative. Ideally I would suggest to discuss this matter at a conference like FOSDEM to get a audience for that. (This works for way more complicated stuff - so why not for that grub thing?)
Why do we need something to officially represent Fedora? If your interested..start a cross distribution discussion now. There is a mailinglist for cross distribution discussion at freedesktop.org. Talking about it at conferences is great and all, but its not the only mechanism. http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/distributions Having a long drawn out Fedora-centric discussion on implementation details is a waste of time.
If everyone has come to the point where they agree that it can't be sanely done without getting cross-distribution consensus to build a new metadata construct that we currently do not have..then its time to stop talking here..and start talking in a distribution neutral space and worth other the implementation details there.
