I've _very_ quickly thrown together a basic page, a chunk of which was
copy/paste from that email.  The page is not yet authoritative, but at
least provides something as a starting point to be refined and improved
to get towards a state where people like it as much as they seem to like
the Peering document.

I don't know what the privilege model is at Atlassian for editing that
wiki; whether anyone with an account can edit, or only people with
repository permissions.  Minimally, we have something which other
committers can refine.  I don't have time to shepherd this now, so
please don't run changes by me!  If you see a problem, fix it. :)
