Please reference the lp bug #s? If you have something in the review
queue that requires attention then please visit Freenode #juju, folks
are pretty responsive there.

For starters you can always deploy from a branch, see

https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/internals/charm-store.html#namespaces

If you really want your own charm store you could modify your local
copy of juju. The namespaces are defined in juju/charm/repository.py

def resolve:
     ...
     if url.collection.schema == "local":
         repo = LocalCharmRepository(repository_path)
     elif url.collection.schema == "cs":
         # The eventual charm store url, point to elastic ip for now b2
         repo = RemoteCharmRepository(CS_STORE_URL)

where CS_STORE_URL is,
CS_STORE_URL = "https://store.juju.ubuntu.com"

This isn't configurable at the moment but patches are always welcome :)
It probably makes more sense to define your own namespace vs overriding
the root charm store.
