+1 to not hand editing a new wiki page, we seem to try this every now and again in various individual places, and is usually incomplete, out of date, or only partially correct. There are also quite frequently more than one individual involved in an activity effort, usually dipping back in from time to time, going dark for long periods, handing over responsibilities to others over time — I guess we do usually have one current maintainer, though historically this can end up as an unnamed member of Activity Team, usually alsroot ;-) and occasionally new versions get release by non-maintainers (complicating git and version numbering).
