If a script is actively maintained, people can send the author
patches. I think branching is ideal when somebody wants to add a
feature or fix a bug that the author is not fixing on their own.
Branching is basically what happens already, except it is more
discoverable. People will also have help in choosing a branch based on
ratings, comments, and last-modified dates.
