How Official UI Edits Could Work.
Christopher P.:
Firstly, there would be a new section under Files:
This is where people would upload their UI edits.
Then you have the way to actually make these UI edits functional. You must package it into a .zip folder, and put it in add-ons like other add-ons. You would then package as so:
ui_coolui
myuiedit.png
otheruiedit.png
thumbmy.png
thumbother.png
ui.txt
(others if required)
You can put random images in there, and ui.txt will tell the game what they are.
ui.txt:
--- Code: ---name=Cool Cursor
image=myuiedit.png
thumbnail=thumbmy.png
location=\base\client\ui\CUR_3darrow.png
name=Cool Blockland Logo
image=otheruiedit.png
thumbnail=thumbother.png
location=\base\client\ui\Title.png
--- End code ---
Using this, you can edit any image in the game if you want, even if it's part of an add-on.
There would be another tab in the options menu with a scroll box with thumbnails of various UI edits you have added. There would be sub-tabs depending on what UI edits you have, and more would be added if a game discovers you have a UI edit for more stuff.

what's the point in having an extra board that's just filled with absolute garbage when they can just be posted in general discussion?

Okay, I know you think all UI edits are crappy, but don't just think about yourself. What if other people want UI edits? What if you wanted to make quality UI edits for the people that want them in a non-hacky way?
