There *is* a community that creates good quality open source IP. But that simply does not mean that *every* open source IP is good quality.

Is there a place where quality open source IP is collected and showcased somewhere? How do I find the good stuff?

This is something we are working towards with @librecores

I understood that https://ci.librecores.org/  was intended as a tool towards that goal, but there seem to be no manpower available to do it.

Not sure about VHDL, but I do know Verilog itself is a *big* contributor to the problem of community.

Yes. We need to grow our active community to the point where we have the capacity to write tools which can replace our old tools.

And, Verilog (in particular) impedes code reuse as well by having a flat namespace for modules. E.g., if Olof writes a module queue, and >>

That's one of the many reason I personally prefer VHDL over Verilog. I seem to be in the minority these days, though.
