Right. You probably want the PEER software (not to be confused
with the oft discussed public PEER service based on said software)
but you'll have to wait for a couple of features that is on the
roadmap for the major sprint after the current one.

A PEER instance produces a GIT repository of metadata that you
can point any number of aggregators, including stuff you hack
up using xslt and bash as I have aswell as the MDA.
