If all that was in place, how many sites would the average Commons developer
be required to maintain? It sounds like 3 to me - the component site, the
shared site, and the CI site. IMO, that is 2 too many. Right now, we're only
at 1 too many.

If anything, I would be in favour of moving in the opposite direction.
Everything about component X stays on the component X site, so the
developers of component X only need to worry about maintaining one site. If
someone wanted to add some automation to 'pull' some information from
component sites to the main Commons site, that would be fine, but don't make
the component developers have to go put it there. What makes the site
updates a pain today is that there is more than one to maintain.
