scripts isn't part of the package either (it was never meant to anyway as it is only used for bootstrapping). I think adding contrib makes probably more sense (as is usually done in other opensource packages), and as far as we clear the distribution of all those contributions of course with some nice looking legalese (which I think has been implicitly granted through the process of getting those files publicly to the list) either way, and just to be clear, I don't think this is 3.1.0 material and never proposed as such, specially if there is any chance it could somehow delay it. there is always the alternative as you pointed out of just referencing to those contributions through the web so they can be used (the README.contrib should be probably updated to include links for clarity) or just do without them (which I guess could really reduce the advantage of having a contrib at all and probably discourage some users on providing contributions for it).
