Regarding distribution of source, why not standardize on one of the many Linux or BSD distribution systems. It's not necessary to reinvent the wheel. Something like apt-get, rpm, or something more ports like might be a good fit. An Etoile based gui could then wrap around the standard underlying distribution system to hide it from the user. Many linux projects already distribute source as packages. One could argue that this should be handled at the OS distribution level though. It seems reasonable to encourage a Etoile + GNUstep desktop OS environment. At one point, I had thought about going down this road with my BSD project, but I gathered many users preferred a Linux derived system (which makes sense in this context). I think this task is outside the scope of the GNUstep community proper though.
