Bryan is right we should have an about repo that is a github-pages site.
Essentially one description of the the problems tackled by
github.com/cookbooks is described in the following exchange (rberger
not assoc with any cookbooks teams as far as I am aware, he just
describes an issue many have identified for some time):
http://help.opscode.com/discussions/questions/531-installing-cookbooks-from-non-community-sites

This also makes clear why Opscode won't, can't and arguably shouldn't
advocate for use of one of:
 - knife github plugin,
 - librarian,
 - any github.con/<account>/cookbooks
 - any githib.com/cookbooks/<repo>

They have SLAs to deliver on and they can only do that if they have
the fully control that people paying for the SLA are demanding by,
well, paying for a SLA :)
It's not personal - just business.

Of course anybody can fork:
 - any github.con/<account>/cookbooks
 - any githib.com/cookbooks/<repo>

make their changes on top and offer whatever SLA they feel they can.

HTH clarify
