Would a "wireshark-windows-thirdparty" repository be useful for managing
this? I've been thinking about adding something for the scripts I use to
create the OpenSUSE-derived packages.

What would we use it for? Storing the scripts / patches used to generate the packages? If yes, I guess storing those in the zip file (as you started to do for some packages) makes it easier to find the relevant info (typically I should have added the steps - including the compilation flags - used to generate libgcrypt, instead of saying that it was compiled without AES-NI support).
Or we could eventually create a folder per package in this new repository, and then put the relevant stuff (and replace it each time we upgrade the package). But I fear it would make it harder to find the info afterwards.
Or maybe you had something else in mind?
