Distributing Is it possible to distribute custom python expressions along with .qgisqgs file?

I have a QGIS project I'm working on with a few other users. The print composer and map tips use custom python expressions in the expression builder.

I know the expressions are store in .qgis2/python/expressions but I want to find a reasonable way to distribute and update those expressions so that when someone alters on it syncs to all the others. It seems odd to me that these can't be embedded somehow in the .qgis file (I understand there's security concerns, but a model similar to macros in microsoft products could be used...)

Thoughts?
