Agreed, but being able to have potential/unfinished gleps available (so
you can check them by url, but not by clicking a link on the index)
would be nice so people who are asked by glep authors to
proofread/comment/poop on a new glep don't have to remember all the
custom d.g.o URLs. Another thing is that I'd like to update it directly
and not to have to send diffs/new versions to some gatekeeper instance.
So maybe direct commit access for devs (as mentioned in GLEP1) with some
special magic for the index page?

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
