Sure, that is the intention. I do not think of the front
page or the announcement as a contract, but I have added
a 'related to TeX' to this phrase.

No. To make this a little clearer, I've added 'temporarily'
to the 'point the TLmgr' sentence.
Still not the clearest possible phrasing, but better. The
current multi-repository support in tlmgr is rudimentary,
and it needs extensions to make extra sites like tlcontrib
work in a natural way. We are already discussing such
extensions off list, but there is no time frame for
implementation yet.
Best wishes,
Taco
