I'm not sure why this is an issue... it is perfectly acceptable for
you to manage the GnomeLove area of the wiki.

But isn't that just a matter of keeping an eye on the GnomeLove page,
to make sure it points to the right places?

While areas on the wiki aren't formally governed, there are informal
rules, and I don't see why you couldn't take a de factor editor role
for the GNOME Love pages.

It impacts the overall design of the site. It also affects who will
contribute to the GNOME Love documentation.

To me, the main issue is one of navigation, which can be solved with a
prominent link from developer.gnome.org to wiki.gnome.org/GnomeLove.
I'd also suggest that you be bold when it comes to taking control of
the GNOME Love pages. :)
