Hi Nicolas,
these two documents look like something you have put a lot of work into and that you're still working on. Putting them on people.tpo has a few (major, IMHO) disadvantages: nobody will learn about these documents unless they know the exact URL, nobody will be notified when they change (and therefore see that you're working hard on them), there's no history, and when you delete them (by mistake) they're gone forever.
How about moving these two documents to the wiki? Possible URLs could be https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/automation/review and https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/automation/proposals. You could mention at the beginning that people should talk to you before editing these pages.
All the best, Karsten

About deleting them by mistake and history, I'm keeping the sources in a git repository: https://github.com/boklm/tor-automation
The reason I'm doing this is that it's convenient to be able to edit them with a text editor when offline. But it's true that it makes them harder to find and see that they were updated. I will look if I can maybe push them to wiki pages using XML-RPC.
