But yes, that kind of table is exactly what I have in mind. I'm just saying that as an implementation detail, I like the idea to have a separate repo that contains connector metadata of the sort that Andrey proposes, that we then generate the docs table from. It's a pretty high barrier to entry if we have people editing the docs by hand (and building it to make sure it works) to submit a PR for a new connector.
