One possibility would be to pack all collected lua filters up into a single 
luarock, and to use the luarocks module management system to deal with 
downloads/updates.  This would allow the definition of dependencies on 
other lua packages while keeping things reasonably simple. The disadvantage 
is that one of the main benefits of lua filters, namely independence from 
other software, would be weakened.

I believe collecting filters in a central place is a very good start, 
either way.
