Any objections to me trying?

I already have fd.o wiki access (I'm so important!) so I can at least
copy your website contents into the main place, we're listed under in
drafts so I can do that without discussion on their ML and it will
make it look way more "official" than it does now.

Then we can fire off a request to move it from "Planning" to somewhere better.
