I hereby propose that we retire the term "multi-maintainer project" or
"MMP", and just start calling them "public tools" (with an appropriate
qualifier where necessary, as in "public tool account"), as opposed to
"private tools" that run on users' personal accounts. I do realize that
these names are not perfectly descriptive, but IMO they're at least
better than what we have right now.

Except I don't see the problem with the word "project" and "Public Tool Account" is asking for more scary abbreviations.

I'd recommend the name "Public projects" or "Shared projects" (instead of "Public tools"). Most accounts contain multiple tools. Since an MMP is just a shared account, it can perfectly contain multiple (related) scripts, or a framework, or collection of interconnected tools.

"Creating a public tool" (where one would previously say "Creating a MMP") sounds a bit off to me. "Creating a public project" or "Creating a shared project" sounds more natural to me.
