This is in some sense a bit of a tenuous idea. I like it in theory, but it
might makes little sense to share importers between people of different
geographical areas, except some very generic importers (e.g. any CSV file
with auto-detect column types). It's unclear to me that a single world-wide
repo would find a lot of reuse and the costs may outweigh the benefits.
Even between West coast and East coast USA the set of banks differs enough.

Please go forth ... ledger2beancount seems like a fine place for it.
