This is intended to improve the contribution and change process. It is hoped that this will also improve the discoverability of content on the wiki. During any migration, content will continue to reside on the wiki.

If the aim here is to enable "useful grass roots contribution and maintenance.", I think it would be appropriate to say more about how this migration does that, because I don't understand it.  The quicwg website doesn't even indicate how to contact the maintainers, so it's hard to see how it enables a grassroots effort.
Indeed, the current quicwg.org has been mostly operated by the chairs, with a small number of contributions from those that might have stumbled on the repo.

Consolidating useful information to a single place would come with improving the documentation on how to contribute, whether it be an issue or a PR to the repo [1]. And of course, we would cover the requisite notes on contribution code of conduct and note well.

Cheers
