To work for free, while you earn a salary?  I will be happy to hear a
job offer which includes a competitive salary.

You miss the point.  A minimal self hosting repo would be useful to a
wide audience, not just a few.

It seems to me, OBS developers are defensive of their own turf, and do
not see the big picture.

The scheduling "power" Adrian mentioned is academic; the reality is:
OBS is TOO SLOW.

Better code is not the only solution.  You need a better practical
approach.  Split the big opensuse project into smaller sub projects.
That may not improve scheduling speed, but think beyond the code.  

If people won't use opensuse/OBS, because the repo is 3000+ big, and
unwieldy, there's no point of working hard on code.  Try not to hide
from yourselves, the fundamental needs which are obvious to everyone
else.
