Like any open source project you can redistribute ROS. ROS is not monolithic so you will have to pay attention to the licenses of all components that you include.
Overall packaging takes a lot of ongoing work and as an individual I would suggest that it will not something that's sustainable without a community effort. As @gvdhoorn mentions there are several community discussions ongoing and it likely makes more sense to get involved with those than to try to go at it on your own.
Along similar lines please consider the impact that you might have if you name grab package names that then would prevent or interfere with the community projects or upstream maintainers from releasing packages as well if they choose to in the future.
And as @mgruhler mentions I would strongly suggest that you ask a little bit more specifically about what you're looking to do, before jumping to a conclusion about the best way to solve it and asking for specific help on that problem.
