That looks good.  I have just a couple of comments (see below).

Hmm... I'm not sure I agree with that criteria.  Extras was intended
specifically for things which could not or should not go in the main
distribution, for reasons of copyright, portability, stability,
appealing only to a niche audience, etc.  I imagine that for many of
the things there, there is no likelyhood that they will ever move into
the main distribution.

The title there looks wrong.

In the heading there, s/Contributed/Contributing/

Apart from those two points, this change looks fine.
