See below.

I would advise against using too many manually created links.
And you are very right with that. Nevertheless I did them and they
mostly did the trick up to now:
Better patch the scripts to support the "os" subdir where
necessary
(or make the repo paths more customisable).
Fully agreed, but my python skills are not good enough to do that (I
really wanted/want to improve my programming skills, but all the other
Fedora work keeps me/kept me completely busy over the past few years
:-/). I just work with the scripts and set them up as somebody just had
to do it to get things running :-/
That, btw, was one of the reasons why I send a mail to this list many
months ago where I said: I don't want to do infrastructure work -- I
just do it as it seems somebody has to do it to get things running. But
nobody stepped up to help, hence I continued to do the best I can.
So how to move forward? I'd suggest this: If you are a trusted
packager/contributor and if you have python skills to work on this let
me know and I'll try to get access to the machine in question organized.
The "trusted" part is a bit important here, as that's the machine where
plague runs/where the master repo is hosted ;-)
Michael, you of course would be the best for that job. But I got the
impression that you don't want to get involved to deep into RPM Fusion,
hence I never wanted to ask you to take care of things like this.
Note: I'm not sure how much work we want to spend on the push scripts at
all, as we hopefully sooner or later switch to koji and bodhi.
