 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." :)
