I recently have this kind of conversation with a developer who
create a game with the blender game engine and didn't know where to
share and publish it. All I was able to answer to him was to publish it
in the blenderartists forums and put a link in the wiki. But
blender contents in the forums are quite dispersed and wiki Plugins
section needs heavy maintenance IMO.
It would be awesome to have such an apt-like repository 
with scripts, games or model templates and installing them directly from
inside Blender.
If there is a task for it, I would likely give my help as I am mainly
interested in python script development.

Cheers
