Sounds like an oxymoron to me. If they are usefulk  to  many  people,
then why are they "not common enough to be committed into mainline"?

OK, just do it exactly the other way round: master is  for  upstream,
and  you can have a "testing" or "cutsom" or whatever branch for your
local stuff.

But please note that the main task of the custodoian is to help merge
code into mainline, *not* to nurture code split.
