I'm re-opening this bug unless there is a more appropriate place for
discussion. I've listed some specific features launchpad could add here:

Bug description:
Content is the primary thing holding back the development of FOSS games and a distributed content development platform is in dire need. 
http://pinstack.blogspot.com/2009/04/foss-gaming-needs-distributed-content.html

FOSS game developers need a website like launchpad (or, better yet, launchpad itself, as this bug was filed for) to allow them to share resources like sounds, textures, models, etc. 

It's a HUGE task, but so is the payoff. Here's to FOSS gaming!
