[Switching to dev, so everyone can hop in]

As for now, we show an advice on the footer, stating that the content is
AL; maybe we should reword that so it's made clearer, as it's seen on every
page. If don't state that the content is AL there, I could upload my own
plugin without knowing or linking the ContributedPlugins page and I could
argue that the copyright notice wasn't visible.

Regarding personal pages, right now, I'd leave them, as the signal-to-noise
ratio is still high, and those pages link, or contain valuable
info/contributed plugins. If it worsens I'd be would be in favour of being
stricter granting rw access, but for now it seems to me ok, as a large % of
those personal/sandbox pages are ending up in being proper contributions.
In any case, I'm eager to hear what others think about this, and won't mind
to change my opinion if enough people think we should be stricter / would
be nice to have a sandbox wiki / etc.
