Yes, that is the plan. In fact, not just the above but also these


- ML https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-mailinglist.html
- Bugs https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=3Dgrub/
- lore https://lore.kernel.org/grub-devel/

These may take some time but volunteers are welcome to speed up the process=

Good points, I'm not sure of the best path but at least you pointed out
