An "application/x-yum-repository" file format which mozilla knew how to
feed to a simple app would certainly be nice.
You'd still need a simple management tool as you say - so people can remove
them, but "click here to add Nethack" is a nice interface 8)
To do so is trivial, of course. We need to have a nice app for people
to use, of cource. Once that happens it's pretty easy to make an
application mapping for Mozilla to use.
