I don't have any objections, but I think such a repository may not help with 
making projects switch to cmake. For a project to switch to cmake, there must 
be one developer from that project who does the conversion, or somebody from 
the outside must do it and maintain it then (and become a developer of that 
project by doing this).
Also this maintainer most probably will want to do it from scratch, so he 
knows what he is maintaining.
Of course it could serve as a starting point or demonstration that it works.
