Linux distros should make tasks that are just link collecting as easy as editing Wikipedia and make contributing not require learning git, their syntax and giving out your real name or creating an account.

I've seen StackOverflow questions for "how do I install X" with thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of views and no-one has tried to contribute the 10 or so lines of code in the accepted answer as a package. Something is clearly too hard or not approachable.
