Super nice idea. Not that I use any of them scripts, but I was
wondering, have you considered other platforms like gitorious or
nongnu.org (where ratpoison itself is hosted).  I kinda like the "free
software needs free tools"[1] point of view.  ymmv

Anything but letting those scripts rotting on the wiki would probably be
an improvement anyway. :)
