We already decided we move projects to Wiki. I don't think we're going
to decide to move them to GuideXML ever again. Keeping an element
dedicated to that doesn't make any sense because it can never work
again.

If we even decide (which is quite likely) to go the braindead route of
having a database than tells you pretty much 'use a completely
different API to obtain members', we still would need to introduce
a new element for that.

Reusing <maintainingproject/> with completely different values is so
ugly I can't even properly express it with words. It's just like Python
projects -- we subtly changed API here, your programs will break
randomly now, have fun!
