Make a contrib-gnome, contrib-xfce, contrib-kde repos and submit DE specific contrib ports there, adjust rules. cons: - makes things too complicated;

I think this would be by far the best solution. It would keep everybody happy, and people don't have to subscribe to DE specific contrib ports if they just want their basic DE.

I don't see why it has to be more complicated than contrib itself, the rules should be pretty much the same, and whenever someone is given access to contrib he should also be given access to contrib-* (no need to apply to different contrib repos separately).

I think it gets too complicated from that point, creating gadzilion of repositories isn't good solution. If DE maintainers are afraid of allowing contrib members to access their repos, I think good solution would be changing contrib rules so we could maintain specific DE dependent ports in contrib.
