Why not host them on a third party site and get CTM to provide a link
from their "support" page.  They could make it a feature together with
advertising this list.  Some time ago this worked for Nisus where many
users contributed macros.  Kirk McElhearn ran the "Nisus Corral" where
the macros were kept.  All support was done by Nisus list members.  Just
occasionally a Nisus staffer might intervene on the list to contribute
technical advice, but this was neither solicited nor expected.  

This way the scripts get advertised without CTM having to deal with
support issues.  If CTM are prepared to revamp their support page to give
prominence to the list and the script collection, and third parties are
prepared to host the scripts, everybody wins.

cheers,

Chris
