Awesome, we definitely need such a platform. There have been some efforts in
the past.  Someone in the thread already mentioned Greasemonkey. There is also
https://greasyfork.org/en, https://userscripts-mirror.org/, and others. They
have varying levels of commitment to free software and proper licensing
practices, but maybe they can provide useful ideas or opportunities for
collaboration.

(Probably this conversation could be narrowed to just one list? Sorry for not
doing the trimming myself. It's not exactly on-topic for fsf-community-team.)
