Many sites that collected script-fu and python for Gimp have "died" over the years, for various reasons, always causing great disappointment, most recently GimpScripts. https://web.archive.org/web/202403191906...ripts.net/
In the past it was more difficult to have a free blogger or wordpress blog (provided you don't have a domain), and Github / GitLab where you can keep the scripts without spending... but now you can. https://github.com/vitforlinux-gimp/scm
Since to pass the time at the beginning of Covid I started keeping the fu scripts I like updated, here I keep them on GitHub, where there is also a preview page... incomplete. https://vitforlinux-gimp.github.io/
Then I have a blog where I talk in Italian about Linux, Gimp and chat... all at the expense of the users who see the advertising, even if I earn nothing from it. https://vitforlinux.wordpress.com/category/gimp/
In the old days you needed an organization with a server, now you just need patience to maintain your own infrastructure and for users to search on Google.
Personally, what I don't like about GitHub or GitLab as publishing media is that you always get users who download things that wasn't meant for them (because you code isn't the only thing in the repo, you will also have test images, proof-of-concept code, doc source, etc...). So I keep the packages for users as far as possible from my work area, which is why my packages are all on SourceForge, while my code is maintained elsewhere. A nice perk of SourceForge is that you get the download counts so you have an inkling of which packages are useful (or even popular).
YMMV of course.
