Yeah, my thought was that ideally that list would have a bunch of people 
who are really good at finding GIS data, and when someone asks a 
question like that if it's not already in the repository they would have 
good leads on how to hunt it down, and then be able to easily add it to 
the repository.  But I realize that's not how it's set up now, which was 
why my answer was unconvincing.
