NO !
You mean someone is paid and create a third repo for something Mageia
doesn't want to import...

If that thing brings a mess into Mageia,  we will see bug reports in
bugzilla and lot of time lost by Mageia bug-triagers, devs, packagers,
before discovering that is not a Mageia problem but that this stuff
brought some shit !
We suffer of lack of time... and this will consume more time from
voluntary contributors to repair something badly done by someone that
was paid for it !
