I like the idea. I think we can even setup tests namespace repo for it, which would ensure all content in this package is %doc only. It does not contain %post scripts and no executable, unless strictly predefined content. That CI repo would have more strict access to ensure newcomers cannot avoid automated checks.
We could ask new contributors to review PRs of candidates and merge and build them. I think this package definitely should be part of the distribution. Other packages should not depend on it, so it would get installed only by those who want it. New contributors could also be proud once they have their name in a real package. Don't force anyone, but blocking is not needed IMHO.
