I'd add, by way of voting for something a bit more central, that it
would be very hard to offer support to new users over IRC or the list,
if there wasn't some brancha franca. Any problems they might have could
be traced to some patch in whatever repo they pulled from, and everyone
on the channel would, in order to help, be clamoring to have them pull
from this or that repo.

I don't know how official this has to be -- just an agreed upon branch
that people keep around next to their own personal one. Sebastian used
to have one that served this purpose a while back, I think.

None of this means that people couldn't publish their own -- but that
there was one, run probably by a team, to serve as a point of a
reference.
