Bat and Zola both use syntect for highlighting syntaxes and have their own folder for additional syntaxes on top of the official Sublime repo. It would be a good idea to merge so there is one known source of syntaxes that all of syntect users can contribute to.

The idea would be:

• have a third party repo containing the syntax files
• keep the patches that bat has since they solve issues
• pretty much any .sublime-syntax should be accepted as long as it's not a duplicate of an existing one (Zola highlights .srt for example, which is not strictly a programming language but can be useful in various contexts)
• build step is up to the consumer: bat seems to have a built in method for it while Zola has a small Rust script (https://github.com/getzola/zola/blob/master/components/config/examples/generate_sublime.rs) that prints a blurb pasted in the docs.

A bonus point for syntect is to have a Rust CI setup on that repo that tests every syntax for both rust-onig and fancy-regex, which can be used to report potential bugs/issues.
