Comment(by grarpamp):

 Concerned the complete lack of rule writing docs and 'official' 'best
 style' rule templates/examples in git is leading to poor quality rulesets
 as writers inherit and copy/paste each others poor forms. Surveying and
 linting the rule files shows that some regex knowledge is low, and this
 copying is infecting things. 00README in git points to web, for which a
 writer, already working in the same dir, may not fork browser and just
 copies a random xml instead.

 Rather than deal with CMS to git, or git to CMS...
 try dumping the CMS content to git once, then replacing the CMS content
 with weblink to the content in the browseable git repo.

 Certainly and primarily only for this page, as its real consumer is
 writers (in git) not
 end users (surfing web). And such writers are better position to update it
 as needed,
 than general EFF account holders in CMS.

 And perhaps for most of this page too...

 This might relate to #2160.
