Uh, why is such a burden required all of a sudden? contrib/README
mentions no such requirements, and the scripts have been accepted (and
maintained) since. Besides, you say "No activity since 2010" - this is
not the case, bc380fc is from November 2013. And there's already
*some* documentation in the scripts themselves.

Please stop your pointless crusade that'll only break other people's work-flows.
