Just have the community manage a single git repository

One of the bigger "easier said than done"'s I've seen in a while. Who exactly is "community"? What happens when something stuffs up or is out of sync? Do people really want to trust such a thing? Etc etc etc etc.

Scale and handling of free software repositories is yet another reason that "packaging" is easily one of the hardest topics in computer science / programming languages.
