Calling something that anyone can go and edit and add their best ideas
to "official" is silly.
It does not list iron-clad requirements - it is there simply to help.
That's pretty obvious by looking at the huge list of content on that
page.  I'd rather spend my time writing code and improving the
projects rather than engaging in bureaucratic exercises.
