I agree, and I think it would be an excellent idea.

Do you have global commit? If so, you can just check them into the
xemacs-builds module, which are all maintainer-specific, so anything
goes. (There's Python, and Perl, and awk, and zsh (I mean, bash don't
cut it) and what not already, a little more Perl can't hurt.) Make a
new darrylo (or whatever) directory.
Note that they are all maintainer-specific, so you only have to take
care of them if you want to use them. Otherwise, you can just let
them bit-rot (assuming your pride can handle that concept...).
