I am thinking we could establish policy so that the WIP wiki page is an
index to mailing list threads, git branches or other "updatable"
locations so that it is less likely to need updating and therefore
stays updated w.r.t. it's main purpose: finding out about WIP work.

The policy would say that one must create a mailing list thread, git
branch or else and link it there and **NOT** include original
information on the wiki page but rather just link to ML/git/else.

We could write such policy at the top of the page so contributors to it
can easily see it.

What do you think?
