If they help us fulfill the product vision [1], they should be added.

In my opinion, these scripts are useful enough to be distributed with 
vanilla GIMP. Could you create a git commit that adds these?

No, but GIMP can ship with a menurc file that create a default 
keybinding for the script. Include that in the commit.
