Meh. And now http://projects.gnome.org/ redirects to
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps ...

One year ago one third of the projects in GNOME Git had not seen any
code activity for the last two years.

Resolution to which problem? :) 
I'm not sure if we talk about the same thing - Personally I don't have
problems with non-GNOME3 apps and their documentation so far. :P

Automatically creating won't be easy, but it could be added to the
guidelines for Bugzilla admins at
https://wiki.gnome.org/BugzillaMaintainers/CreatingNewProducts (after
