So I'm trying it in a different way: say I'm a sysadmin and I want to have the same static UIDs and GIDs on all my systems for *all* Fedora packages that create UIDs or GIDs during install. I need a list of groupnames and usernames such packages might create to prepare a modified setup package.
I understand, I thought you wanted to have an official registry for uid/gid mappings, but you just want to know which user/groups exist at all.

If that works: sure. But we should not force sysadmins to download the whole cvs and run such a script -- we instead should autogenerate and upload it somewhere IMHO.
But that's not something we would mention in the guidelines.
Agreed.
