I second this option.

Given that ELPA and contrib/ both serve as a sort of proving ground for
tools which do not yet have some combination of the stability, copyright
assignment, or widespread utility to be included in Emacs or either
Org-mode it seems natural to distribute the contrib directory through
ELPA.

I think either of the following repositories would make excellent homes.

  http://tromey.com/elpa/
  http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/

Also, somewhat selfishly, I'd like to distribute my org-ehtml tool as an
ELPA package, but I can't until some of the functionality in contrib/
can be installed through ELPA.

Best,
