I'm reminded of Wikipedia and drive-by edits. When each repo is so small (equivalent to a single article on Wikipedia, or even less), it seems like they should be part of larger organizations with a bit more bureaucracy and guidance?

You mean like publishing a coherent library-package, rather than a million independent function-packages?
We know how to do this, but the Node-community just won’t have it.
Great idea.
Would make sense to pool volunteers for code reviews similar to what Stackoverflow does for questions, answers, edits etc.
Hmm, review and certification of open-source packages could likely be a business. Something similar to commercial Linux distributions, like RHEL, that test and vet their packages, but not limited to that.
