First, you should perhaps just start doing stuff there and see how it works out.... Second

I think the question to you is rather about how to ensure that we know about security problems and such. So how would we best do the work you guys do for the Contrib repo?
Yes, this is the main question.
The handling is pretty easy. Just submit a patch to the packages in the <version>:Contrib repo and patch/newer version to Factory:Contrib. Like you said.
Still, there is a questions how to handle non-public bugs (if we have any chance to know about them)

Hi All !
I'm the creator of contrib but since I'm working on other, non-related things, I have basically have little time to maintain contrib actively, and the project came to halt. I may go back to contribute actively eventually, but there is no timeline - so don't count on it. I have proposed myself to include a few packages, but after a review we decided to drop them. We - means me and other reviewers.
We have a two layered system here: (Contrib) Reviewers and (Package) Maintainers. Reviewers review packages provided by maintainers and maintain the whole repository, while maintainers maintain only maintain their packages, propose new packages for review/inclusion.
- will be branched on each distribution release
(openSUSE:Factory:Contrib -> openSUSE:11.2:Contrib) Yes I agree with this point of view.
Here is the home page of contrib: http://www.opensuse.org/contrib
I think the real goal is the unification of both (Factory+Contrib), like happened in Fedora (Core+Extras), but we are very far from it. So Contrib is the step in the right direction.

We would assign them to you a potential bugzilla list alias they become public.
