Does anybody know who is operating this repository? https://github.com/Wikisource
Would it be possible to add more admins to make it the official repository for Wikisource scripts?
As there is interest by multiple people, I'd like to be an "admin" (owner?) there as well, so that I can copy ("fork") Wikisource-relevant repositories into it for the sake of discoverability.

Forking is not copying. Unexperienced people may think repositories hosted under the "Wikisource" organization are the 'official' and the most up-to-date versions. We'd end up like https://github.com/tool-labs/ricordisamoa-labs... Why not to ask maintainers first?
I agree, I don't think it's a good idea for the org to have forks of elsewhere-updated repos. If they're Wikisource-specific things, then it'd be great to have the master repo under /wikisource (if the maintainer is keen).
For discoverability, I think a page on oldwikisource or meta, listing all Wikisource-related software, would be great. Then it wouldn't be limited to GitHub only, and the GitHub org could have it as it's homepage. (By the way, I set oldwikisource to be the org's homepage yesterday.)
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_software perhaps?
