You can document all you want and it won't matter if no one is looking in the right place. I think that is really the root of OPs question.
At the companies I've worked at, I've seen utility scripts stored in the main repo with the code, in their own repo, in a gist, in confluence, in Google docs, and in OneNote. Often the same company is using more than one of these at the same time. It's like one person gets fed up with the current solution not doing what they want and decides to create their own standard. BTW, I'm not condoning any of these, it's just what I've seen over the years.
I'm a firm believer that if you give people a solution that is easy to use and meets their needs, eventually they will gravitate toward it. On the flip side, if a solution is complicated or useless, they will eventually stop using it, even if it is company mandated.
From what I've seen, all these solutions are either overly complicated or don't fully meet a companies needs. I think OP is looking for suggestions of tools that other people use and like, so they can try it on their team.
