For a library, I expected something like a card index, with an ontology reflecting the kinds of things users want. Instead, the tags (except for 2) reflect the media type. The index (however implemented) should both afford navigation and provide an overview of coverage. (Ideally I could select 2+ tags and get their intersection, especially for orthogonal features like media and topic.) It seems like the ontology could itself be a community-developed list, with discussions/issues for managing it and tagging items.
wrt name, unlike other commenters I actually really like the play on "stdlib". If indeed it were standardized (and federated?), a community library for technical guidance would be a great professional practice for us all. We need something more structured than personal blogs and less political than standards bodies or open-source umbrellas.
(I personally would ditch the "leadership" spin, both because IC's can lead technically (and have to, effectively), and because it has that career-promoting smell (hucksters pushing legions to sell shovels to a vanishingly few actual miners). I can see how "leadership" might draw readers, but I'd be more interested in drawing good contributors - then readers will follow.)
