At the moment some artifacts (generated readmes and such) are committed into the repo. This leads to the problem that one accidentally fixes something in the generated artifact instead of the template.

Research direction

Start by locating the generated README files and the templates that produce them. Determine how those artifacts enter the repository, then make the repository retain the templates without committing generated outputs; done means generated artifacts are no longer committed and template changes remain the source of truth.
