Or, for a novel approach, you might save your money and consider
learning to package such applications yourself.

Extremism.  It is an almost infallible sign -- a kind of death-rattle --
when a human institution is forced by its members into stressing those and
only those factors which are identificatory, at the expense of others which
it necessarily shares with competing institutions because human beings
belong to all of them.

The generally accepted route is to make a request on the mailing list of 
an appropriate repository, for example, repoforge (rpmforge):

http://lists.repoforge.org/mailman/listinfo/users

(there are others too)

Such repositories are usually more than willing to accept donations such 
as hardware and/or bandwidth to assist with hosting, or offers to 
mirror. Some developers/packagers have individual wish lists on Amazon 
if you'd like to make a personal donation to express your gratitude and 
I guess if you are desperate to part with your hard cold cash then 
they'd be willing to accept that too (although in my personal experience 
people tend not to do this for financial reward).

Um, I have written many, I have helped fix many. But you know how it is time is
money.
