I agree with Josh about it going on the downloads page - I don't think it's appropriate. However, there is a community page that has things like books & publications. I think it could be helpful to add a 3rd party projects section to that page, as there's a number of useful utilities like reaper, tlp-stress, the various K8 operators, instaclustr's sstable tools, etc.
I'd like to get them all in one shot so if folks have other suggestions please reply with them.
