How to report broken community featurescripts?

As OnShape grows and evolves, some of the older featurescripts are breaking. For instance, Knurl Featurescript, which I quite love, no longer generates properly, to the point that even the demo is broken:
I'd love to inform the author, and maybe even propose a fix, but I have no idea how to track said author down. And simply fixing it myself in my own version is terrible, as that leads to mass forking of featurescripts, which ultimately leading to tons of abandoned featurescripts, destroying one of the best parts of OnShape.
Is there a good mechanism, beyond searching forum posts and hoping for a lucky "Hey everyone, check out my new featurescript!" post?

Currently, there is not a good way to find or post custom features. There are the random forum posts, as well as "publishing" your feature to the black hole where people still don't know where to search or how to find them. Please vote on the Feature Store - Improvement Request so that we can have a unified place to find or distribute our features to everyone.
One other trick you could do to find the author, is to open the original feature's document. Then go to your Onshape dashboard, and click the recently opened document. This will show you who created it. From there, you could hope that their name matches their forum username and try to send them a message…

Nice trick Michael, I've got to remember that one
Fantastic trick, and I upvoted the feature request.
