It is not just the question of availability.  It should be available in
a centralized place and that it should be improved upon.

Merely having a "common" customization shared in a centralized place
like Gnu Emacs or Gnu Elpa is a great way to build consensus or build on
(or atleast learn from) each other efforts.

Do you know of GNU ELPA?

    http://elpa.gnu.org

Have you done?

   M-x list-packages

May be you want to share some of your Emacs customization in these
places....
