That page unfortunately falls through the cracks as we're all very busy with 
preparing the DSA or responding to the various issues coming up or fixing our 
own machines (I am still working on 30 at the moment) . It would be a great 
help if the page could be filled with information as it is currently on the 
wiki. I think the people with current webwml access are trusted enough to use 
their own judgment in making that page.

Alternatively linking to the wiki page is better than nothing, because that 
source is at least much more controlled than people going randomly around 
looking for said information from unknown sources.

If you and/or the people from debian-www have any content to add to the page: 
feel very free to start!
