Rather than having other groups providing bundles, what about an
alliance of a few groups that provide a single, comprehensive
installer?  For instance perhaps LibreOffice, Mozzila, Gimp, and
Inkscape come together and release one installer with all those apps
bundled in.  It would be any single group or member responsible,
instead an agreement between the groups to release it.  Then on the
respective websites they could release their own app, as well as the
bundle for those who want it.
