Also, as far as discoverability of documentation goes, sticking it in Admin/ between a number scripts which are mostly relevant to the Release Maintainer ranks pretty low.

That is a misunderstanding of the purpose of Isabelle/Admin. As the name already says it is for Isabelle/Admin information. De-facto I've been the main maintainer of it, as of many other things now. It does not help to fork-off shadow administrative structures elsewhere. It will dissipate the little resources that we have.

And I am definitely not joining the Isabelle dis-unity wiki to do the administrative things there.


I would like to add that there is also the config_tum repository, which Florian created when he wanted administrative information neither in the Wiki nor in the public Isabelle repository. I probably would have looked there (as it contains some mira administration info), but never in the Isabelle repository.

It is some minor progress to have such things that were outside any repository in a second repository that is not the Isabelle one. At least it is a proper repository, not a virtual whiteboard. The status of that project is unknown to me nonetheless, and we have still many edits of shared Unix directories where nobody really know what is or was happening at some point.
