This is on a bit of a tangent from this discussion, but in case you
don't already know about it, a Canadian filmmaker, Brett Gaylor, has put
the process of making a documentary film on a collaborative website,
Open Source Cinema. He encourages people to upload raw footage, remix
it, and edit the script of the documentary, allowing the community to
contribute to the argument it makes.

I don't know what Brett uses to run his site, but it might be suitable
for what you're looking for. It sounds like his project would benefit
from a repository like the one you're describing.
Cheers,
Andy
