On the other hand, the wiki could, at some point, supercede the 'normal' Vim pages. That approach seems to be rather popular, these days. Preferably, such a wiki would be hosted on vim.org, not on wikia. In case you don't want to do the admin tasks related to such a Vim wiki, I would be willing to take care of the installation, updates etc, as would be a lot of others, I suspect. Of course, I do not know if you want to give up that much control, which would be fully understandable. > Patches have a closer relation with scripts.

Yet another option would be a common patch repository. This should very likely be distinct from the main Vim repo for a whole lot of reasons. As much as I dislike the current 'Use git for everything' craze, it would be suited just fine for pulling Vim's sources into itself and maintaining several branches. Permissions would, of course, be handed out liberally for new branches and restrictively within existing branches. The recent work to import Vim's history, starting from 5.0(?), into a single git repo might be a great starting point for this.
