Why not add them to Emacs instead?  Having them in Emacs will almost
immediately contribute to their quality, because much more experienced
eyes will look over them.  On top of that, we gain more potential
contributors to Emacs itself, because having write access and a
package in the core naturally leads to more involvement in core
development.
