Perhaps we approach this in a different way.

For me scripts seem a bit of a dark art.  I've not invested the time to
discover what scripts are out there which I might find useful, so for me any
functionality that is provided by scripts is essentially non-existant.
Maybe this is what needs to be tackled.  Make the availability and
discoverability of extensions much better.

Rather than making the features of this script, or that extension part of
the core perhaps we should make extensions as a whole a part of the core
amarok experience.
When you first install Amarok you set up your media library, plug in your
last.fm details etc etc AND go download your chosen extensions.  Make it a
matter of course and a central part of Amarok.
