Yes, agreed, both of these projects make sense to me.

I was wondering whether it might make sense to also move the list of
microprojects into the Git project itself, e.g. as something like
"Documentation/Projects.txt". This would make it easier for us to update
the list of long-running projects whenever a new project is added and
makes it easier for people to discover it.

It would also help to document consensus in the Git project. The file
would likely not always be 100% accurate, but it'd probably be more so
compared to tracking it out of our tree.
