I would suggest that codeigniter have a page on github that are links to solutions etc on github that are officially approved.
So when someone is asking for an auth library, etc etc etc - they can be directed to one place, and its a place that all of us can be fairly confident will be around for a while. The other advantage is that there are already zillions of people searching for solutions on github every day. So it would be good exposure for codeigniter to have a comprehensive set of solutions that can be found there.
This would NOT be a list of all possible codeigniter solutions, libraries, etc. The only solutions that would be on this github page - would be approved by the codeigniter council or some group that they designate. This could actually become a validation for developers who are approved and something to work towards for people developing solutions. It would also show that codeigniter is more then a framework and there is an active developer eco-system.
This "solution" word that you've used here is pretty vague ... care to explain what you mean with it?
Because, I can (and do by default) think of a few meanings for it that you shouldn't look for on GitHub.
On topic:
We don't need CI-only libraries, that only isolates us from the rest of the PHP community. And there are plenty of framework-agnostic libraries out there, quite a few of which are really popular and hence don't need to be on a "CodeIgniter-approved" list for them to be found.
