You currently have to pick them via the "advanced interface" (the link
at the top of the Add Repositories page).

The projects are called Mageia:Cauldron and Fedora:Rawhide, the

I don't know yet. I definitely don't want to swamp the few builders
we have with Fedora build jobs. If there's only a decent amount of
builds I have no problem adding those.
