Since this whole game is getting very major and serious, especially modding, wouldn't it be a good idea to have its own repository ... I mean hosted more than on a personal repository. GitHub like minetest itself, sourceforge, etc. Take your pick, but if this game is to become big, there must be a good, reliable, secure way to do it. This probably means a completely separate repository on GitHub, separate from minetest itself. Each mod to be a branch probably?
The script listed here can still be used to manage all the mods, along with mod information, but the mod data itself must be hosted and managed reliably on hosting services (since they're already there). Also, for descriptions, latest versions, compatibilities, dependencies, and details about mods, maybe a specific text file or something hosted on the main/master branch, that the mod-manager script acquires when needed.
Management of mods is essential even at this point. I myself am reluctant to try that many mods because everything is so scattered and unorganized on this forum.
Besides:
"GitHub Free for open source
Unlimited public repositories and unlimited public collaborators."
P.S. Also, the wiki is not enough.
