I have some experience with this "straightforward process" and I cannot honestly blame people who decided not to go through it and keep packages in their home projects instead. Sure, you can say (and I've heard it many times before) that it's their (ours, actually) fault that we do not understand that the pecularities of the "straightforward process" are for our own good. But that's not how the world works. Fortunately you (as plural) cannot force people to accept the process so you can either make it more friendly and less annoying (which doesn't seem likely) or live with the result. Come on, the ability of OBS to easily create a custom repository which can be trivially added with "zypper ar" and used on one's system is one of the greatest strengths of OBS and advantages of openSUSE. We should promote it as such, not tell people it's something completely wrong.
