I see lot's of Gadgets

There should. But it's impossible in practice, as the gadgets are written by
volunteers for other volunteers, who often have very limited free time, and who often
couldn't care less whether the code is nice or not if it works.
Quite simply, there is not enough contributors to review gadgets, and there is not enough
of them to respond to reviews, if any were to happen. If you have any concrete
improvements in mind, probably the best way to get them done is to either edit the gadget
(if you have permission), or suggest changes to the code (preferably by pasting in the new
version) on the wiki's equivalent to [[en:WP:Administrators' noticeboard]].
