Sure, especially if there is cooperation on both sides.

Are you sure they are exactly the same? When someone makes a value-added
commercial distribution, they make a committment to service that
distribution. So far, I haven't seen any need for committment attached to
the unofficial package repository.
The Debian JP project seems to be organized much the way we are. I believe
they'll be around when service is necessary. Maybe you need to make some
rules (Chorus: "WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING RULES!") about what committments
people make when they drop a package in your archive.
Thanks
