Yes, that's a viable method for some users.

For non-english locales, an extra build step via setup.py sets up the
translations.

Cloning might be made more accessible by wrapping it in a user
interface;

- in the Develop activity https://github.com/godiard/develop-activity

- as a control panel extension in My Settings
  https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/tree/master/extensions/cpsection

Imagine an app store presentation embedded in Sugar, with GitHub as
backend.  No infrastructure required.

Would you like to take it on?  ;-)
