Having first-party extensions and seemingly abandoned third party extensions in the same list has always struck me as very misleading. Just the benefit for documentation readers alone makes it worth it, IMO. Question: What about comments on any of the to-be-moved pages? My vote would be to just nuke them from orbit in the process, as manual comments have about a 1% "usefulness" rate. In fact I'd be completely on board with not enabling comments on the contrib-docs built at all and making it strictly readonly, with links to GitHub if someone is in a contributing mood. --Larry Garfield
