The scripts are also provided as part of a tarball. but agreed that isnt very nice.
Most of our script users still use git to fetch/sync library and scripts together, otherwise their scripts fail.
It would be nice to have a console script pwb.py which can find the script in different packages. I've commented more on T139143: Make a pywikibot entry point for scripts, but one approach is to create a package namespace , and that package namespace can provide the pwb.py.
I think @valhallasw created a task for moving scripts out of the -core repo, but I cant find it now.
So ideally we have a mechanism in place that allows scripts to be moved from an omnibus package into a separate package, and the user invocation is identical.
We did create a pywikibot-wiktionary to avoid that chunk of code landing in -core, but as I recall it has very little pywikibot usage. It should probably be split into a wiktionary library and a script that utilises both the wiktionary and pywikibot libraries.
Ideally we release 2.0 final, and then request that people put their hands up to be maintainers of a single script. There are many scripts that have one primary author over the years - that person may be happy to take more ownership, especially if we can set up the repo /packaging for them to maintain.
And then the remainder of the scripts could be grouped into sets of scripts with a common focus, e.g. #pywikibot-wikidata , #pywikibot-commons , etc.
