IMO, the best way is for the code to become part of the official source distributions. But, I agree that there are some cases where this isn't possible; namely commercial code that would prefer not to donate code, even though they know that, if they did, it would relieve them of the maintenance burden for things like this (there are a *lot* of things like this).
