Vote for removal
Hi,
Please add some option where people can vote for removal of outdated, malware, stealing scripts.
For exmaple if a script receives 3 times as much "Remove" votes as "Keep" votes, after a total of 100 votes, the script gets deleted.

Show that script is already installed in Greasemonkey
This could eliminate the need to install a style when it's already in Greasemonkey. Stylish has this on their site, and also when a style is updated it says: Style has been updated since your last install.

Amount of unique installs planned
Add an amount of unique installs for userscripts.

Multiple authors of the same script
If one person creates a script initially, then another person alters it substantially (or rewrites it but provides the same features), it would be nice if the second author could be added as an admin for that script for credit where credit is due, and for future maintenance.

Add statistics, i.e. downloads per day, week etc. etc.
You could easily implement something using Google Chart API (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/) -

Implement "flag as spam" in the forums planned
This would hopefully eliminate the need for the "Spam and malware" topic. Also, a better system to actually follow through and remove spam (eg. I've personally had spam in comments of one of my scripts for weeks, I flagged it and posted on the forums and it's still not been removed - ht... more

A frontpage describing the site and its purpose for new user planned
This would contain a SHORT description of what Greasemonkey is (and maybe UserJS, GreaseKit etc.) and how to install scripts (so new users won't ask this in forums).
Followed of course by a nice friendly welcome from the site admins :) and then whatever else. Maybe a short FAQ for new people a... more

Implement some form of "deprecated" tag for old scripts
Some scripts may no longer work but can be of use to some people for coding or interest reasons. Since a majority of users won't want to install such a script, there should be some way of unlisting a script without actually removing it.

Report Scriptwright Feature
In addition to being able to report a particular script, it would be extremely nice to be able to report a particular scriptwright for spamming. This would be an ideal way to eliminate Orkut spammers.
