All positive change is gradual. In the meantime, for those of us with ample free time for coding, it'd be nice to have a place to check in code and unit tests that are organized roughly in the same way as Wikipedia. Maybe such a project already exists and I just haven't found it yet.
Broke the thread to say: yes, that would be pretty useful. Check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Global_scripts and please comment on that to ensure the conversation includes your voice and perspective. Personally, I'm interested in finding ways for MediaWiki administrators and power users to share Lua templates, gadgets, user scripts, and skins.
I also encourage anyone writing Wikimedia-related code or tests to share your code via a repository within the Wikimedia's Git/Gerrit infrastructure: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/New_repositories but I understand why Michael specified "that are organized roughly in the same way as Wikipedia." :)
