[ocaml-infra] Automatically synching GitHub pulls to OPAM

[Gabriel Scherer]

I have a small (shell) script myself that I use on top of OPAM,
  https://github.com/gasche/opam-compiler-conf

As an alternative to merging yours upstream, would it make sense to
think of a way to centralize those shell scripts and make them more
easily available to the user, a bit like "git contribs"?
