IMO, you would have to add this part of disco as well, even if you
reused (and modified) a MUC component. You need to add the game lists
and everything.

Another possibility would be not having any game component, just PubSub
and game providers/hosts would just put their game there (I hope this
could be done with PubSub, I did not read it all).

But in will probably be better for clients to have the list as disco -
and users will be able to browse them manually as well.

With regards
