+1 here. Without a solid maintainer keeping things in check and helping order things around (e.g., how are these scripts going to be distributed) things will be somewhat hard to be useful. > Among other things, I'd personally like to see the repo maintainer > enforce sensible and consistent naming for the tools, preferring longer, > explicit names over shorter ones.

I'd also like to add that it'd be nice to have (even if just philosophically) the goal of having contrib/ scripts being promoted to devtools or somewhere else. Thanks, -Santiago.
