I don't know what to do with the submodule repositories: Documentation, configs, and arch. Should these be retained online somewhere so that those very old releases could be built?
Those directories were originally part of nuttx/, then moved to submodules, then later merged back under nuttx/. This makes the git history very confusing for that period of time. I don't know what would happen if you tried to checkout a version from that time and tried to build it.
