From what I know, the Nvidia repository at http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/x86_64/ (which is the one I am using) is built from the nvidia-gfxGXX packages on OBS (e.g., https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG05). So I think the nvidia package on TW is under openSUSE's control. (Correct me if I am wrong.) If not, we can fork this package and maintain a community version of nvidia package, if Packman or other community OBS is willing to accept it.
There will probably always a delay between release of a kernel and the fix for nividia. One way to work around this is a test in openQA. Not sure what the policy is for proprietary drivers.
There are two class of failures of nVidia driver 1) it does not build 2) it builds but crashes You should be able to detect (1) with a kernel post-install hook and warn the user at the end of zypper run or even automatically modify the grub menu to not include broken kernel as the default.
