Would you be willing to host that library under myhdl.org or do you see
it as something, placed at a different site?

This idea hast been around on the mailing list on and off, but never
really started to be implemented. However, looking at the wiki, there
are already now generic functions that could go into such a library. One
to name would be the CORDIC core.

Say it would be under myhdl.org, starting from the wiki perspective, the
documentation of the library and its cores could be under a different
namespace. Then an extra mecurial repository could be set up for the
source code in a similar manner as it is done for the myhdl code itself.

I think setting up the structure and documenting it on the wiki might
attract other developers to contribute.

However, it would be good to setup quality guidelines to avoid
cluttering the library with unfinished projects, as can be seen on
opencores.

Anyhow, just some thoughts.
