It's a good idea, and you're not the first one with that idea.
There were several before 
(http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Module_Maintainers#Third-Party_Modules)
, one of them extra-cmake-modules, which I started: 
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/extra-cmake-modules/repository/revisions/master/show/modules
I intended this to be a central place for additional cmake modules, with 
contributors also from outside KDE, and not really bound to KDE, but this 
didn't work out, and until today there are no contributors outside KDE and I 
have the feeling that it is now basically a "KDE library".

Aynway, you may check on the kde-buildsystem mailing list 
(https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-buildsystem) whether the 
maintainers want to cooperate.
