Nothing keeps a group of developers from maintaining a particular section of 
spells as it is.
Having one grimoire ensures, the users have everything they need.
I know, you will tell afrayedknot he needs a new spell variable GRIMOIRE that 
will make the spells pull in any other grimoires that has spells they depend 
on.
Take a step back, how would you ensure the users have what they need? 
(Exclusion of z-rejected has it's merit certainly.)
All we need is ONE collection of all spells for the users. and of that 
several levels of stability, just like we have right now.
You can then pick a section of that to be yours, and you can find devs who 
take care of that section with you.
There is no need to think since we only have one whole grimoire you are 
obligated to only work on general bugs w/o ever specializing your area of 
work.

Bottom line is, i don't understand what you try to solve, i only know you try 
to solve something.
