If you're really firm about retaining the abbreviation,
I'd say:
Net Muggle Sourcery
The idea being that Wizards have woven spells for use
by Net Muggles, who cannot cast spells of their own.
I came up with the double entendre 'Sourcery'
(a misspelling of 'sorcery', as well as 'a source
of source (code)', as a bakery is a source of baked
goods). davorg himself suggested 'Muggle', which
should be familiar to anyone who's read the Harry
Potter books, the slang usage of which is described
here.
I provided 'Net', and there it was.

Well, I don't know that I'm very creative either, but here are a few ideas:
- Nicer Matt's Scripts
- Net Master Scripts
- Not My Stuff!
- Newly Minted Sources
- Naturally Moist Services
Of course I have to sign this Never Mind Silliness.

You could try to convince people that it doesn't stand for anything, like the roleplaying publisher TSRŪ
You might get away with it.

Tactical Strategies Rules, for those of us who've been customers of theirs long enough to remember.
As for the question at hand, how about:
- Newly Minted Security
- Never More Secure (as in, "You've NEVER been MORE SECURE")
- Nudging Muggles Securely
- New Mexico Scripts (since Matt is, IIRC, from South Texas, he should find GREAT offense at this!)
- Newer More Secure (Archive)
- Needling Michael Schwern ("This Archive is my Bitch!")

See here.
I think "Network Management Services" and "New Management System" are inspiring. How about "Network Movers and Storers"? "Net Munitions Storage"? | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

NMS Matt's Scripts

If the N already doesn't mean anything and these are the NMS Matt's Scripts, then NMS already stands for NMS Matt's Scripts.
recursively like:
GNU - GNU's Not UNIX
LAME - LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder
The words in parenthesis need not be used:
NMS - NMS (version of) Matt's Scripts

Not Merely Scripts
Reflecting the desire that they also be used
as tutorials / learning aids.
Not Meager Scripts
Featureful, robust and ironclad.
