I don't know how useful it is for a yum based distro
Most repo is added by added by installing a rpm file containing the 
.repo file and the GPG  keys or downloading a .repo file from a website 
and put it into
/etc/yum.repos.d.
I don't think it is a feature that a normal user will use and will be 
hard to make a generic dialog that fits all the backends / dists.

For yum we will need:
name
description
baseurls (1 or more urls) or mirrorlist(1 URL)
enabled
gpgcheck
gpgkey (if gpgcheck is enabled)
