    We should merge: http://www.gnu.org/software (as I said in a previous
    mail) with the Free Software Directory.

I think this is ultimately the right thing to do, at least for the
non-GNU packages.

    And we should also merge all the pages:
    http://www.gnu.org/software/PACKAGE into the Free Software Directory
    too. Why having three different entities is a good idea?

This is not a useful thing to do.  The directory points to the web
pages for each program, but those pages are never inside the
directory.  For a GNU program, the actual pages have to go somewhere,
and that somewhere is http://www.gnu.org/software/PACKAGE.  So this
should not be changed.

    Then we should recruit webmasters to maintain those pages (as somebody
    from webmasters pointed it out before),

The package maintainer is supposed to maintain them, but in many cases
they do it wrong.
