write-test.php is important, and <https://qa.php.net/phpt_details.php>
maybe even more so. As this is relevant for run-tests.php (I don't
think there are still alternative test runners), php-src/docs seems to
be a good home for it.
handling-bugs.php needs a thorough overhaul, or might be dropped
altogether. Some of the quickfix snippets might still be useful for the
GH issue tracker, though.

The PFTT reports have always been pretty much useless.
<https://qa.php.net/reports/run_tests.php> had
some value, but
apparently the SQLite DB had been corrupted again, so this can probably
be removed as well. I believe the functionality to send these reports
has been dropped from run-tests.php quite a while ago anyway.
