This was in the (soon to be archived) Homebrew/homebrew-bundle
repository's `README`. There's some good content here that doesn't
cleanly fit into the `brew` manpage so let's move it here.
While we're here, let's de-emphasize `whalebrew` as it's not
widely used and add commented-out deprecation warnings for its future
deprecation.
- Most of these were fine still, apart from:
- FAQ: `hub` is less maintained than `gh`.
- Brew-Maintainer-Guide: link to GitHub docs on commit signing via GPG or SSH.
- Interesting-Taps-and-Forks: remove outdated information about `homebrew/core` being in `Library/Taps`.
- New-Maintainer-Checklist: remove outdated information about the `@members` team.
- At the AGM we formed an ad-hoc documentation working group.
- One of our ideas was that we should have a last reviewed date for
documentation, so that we can periodically implement a review
mechanism (GitHub Actions posts to Slack for a regular documentation
outdatedness check?) to track how old docs are and ensure they're
still relevant.
- This is a first step towards that goal, by adding a `last_review_date`
to the metadata of all docs with a date of earlier than Homebrew's
inception because everything needs reviewing so that we start from a
good base!
