I don't think it's anything intentional, it's just perhaps a lack of
communication. So agreed on contacting ubuntu-devel and I think we
should maybe promote the team somewhere in the developer
documentation. For example, perhaps the presence of documentation
should be a requirement within the UI Standards section here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements

That's very helpful, thanks. Can you get it into the wiki? This is the
obvious place, I think:

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Tasks

I think some of the points can be addressed by pointing the
application towards an existing place in ubuntu-docs
(gnome-app-install could be pointed at ghelp:add-applications,
software-properties could be pointed at
ghelp:add-applications#adding-repos and we might be able to expand the
documentation in hardware#free-disk-space to work for
computer-janitor) but once we have the list in the wiki, we can
brainstorm about how to fix things.
