If for example I have weston in my repo, and its newer than openSUSE:13.1 which is my target, the system could offer it if my rpmlint is good and my karma is also good.

You meant Factory, right? :-) 13.1 is frozen, no new packages. With Factory, it has to go through devel project, but that is automatically discoverable as well... So I would change what you are checking against slightly ;-)
If I have a higher karma, and a package thats not in my target, it should offer it as well, and explanations on karma should be clearly visible, with tips on improving it.
I karma thread some people complained that they don't want to have a karma and it were not people that would have bad karma...
So if my package is a duplicate, it could hint that by branching the factory package, (via metadata knowledge) I could improve my karma, instead of having my little world over in home:bobhasnofriends.
Well, branching is the same as having private world, what is different is sending stuff back :-)
Karma should be linked both to branch contributions, merged requests of new packages (lets try to link home:'s and branching, its too separate right now) and
You lost me here :-)
the system should be helpful in encouraging a contribution back to main. Essentially, OBS should be viewed in a new light: Work on your packages until they're good enough for submission to the main repository.
