The reason I was trying to avoid that is that there's already a huge
backlog of patches for Daniel to sort through, so avoiding adding to
his load seems worthwhile.  On the other hand, if he's ok with the
"so long as it looks useful and has GPL license, I'll accept it with
zero guarantee about bugs", that might work.

We also might fight this using an 'askubuntu.com' style approach.  Let
people upload their scripts wherever they want (in a format which can
be downloaded plaintext with one click), and have a central page where
they can post the url and a short one-line description.  Then let users
vote scripts up/down - which could help avoid rot.

I think I'm overthinking this :)
