Uh. Well, I don't know who is in charge of that page, I guess no
one. I've been fiddling with file releases only. Never touched the
web pages. There was a wiki of sorts I think a few years ago, but
it's been ages since I've kept track of it.

So I guess the initiative is with you. Perhaps you can redirect it
-- if you can get hold of one of the admins, or seize control of
it yourself for convenience rather than maintain a site somewhere
else. I dunno, ideally one or more of the project admins should
speak up -- I'm not in the loop.
