I remember there is a GitHub repository:

I even submitted some [pull requests as
"muescha"](https://github.com/mailmate/mailmate_manual/pulls?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Apr+author%3Amuescha)
whenever I discovered hidden preferences while browsing the archives
and mailing lists.
I think I did include them after a very long time :)
However, since there was no Continuous Integration (CI) setup with
GitHub Actions to automatically publish new pull requests to the live
website, I eventually stopped contributing because my changes were
never published.
Here are my suggestions:
- Perhaps Benny could set up CI with GitHub Actions for the manual, as
this would encourage contributions to the repository. :)
I'd prefer promising to be a lot better at reacting on pull requests.
- Benny could consider generating a plain list of preferences (via a
code scan to identify the names and where they are used). With this
initial list, contributors could expand the documentation with more
details.
This is what I did for the original hidden preferences page, but some
options are not documented because it then also implicitly becomes a
promise that it'll work forever -- or will work at all (they are often
very experimental).
Quite a lot of the hidden preferences are not documented by purpose, but
I do intend to repeat the process above -- maybe soon -- and at least
before making 2.0 a public release.
