Good! Right now they're either locked so that only wiki admins can
change them, or completely open so anyone can edit them risking
changes that we don't notice.

This removes the bottleneck for the ones that are locked, and
introduces a review step for the other.

It also legitimises them by putting them one the main site instead of
a wiki, which has been discussed and said to be a good idea many times
over the years. Further, it helps us have them all in one place, as
right now there are a number of policies on the website (two of which
I forgot to add to the index in the patch), and a bunch on the wiki.

I'd also note that for the most part the ones on the wiki that have
actually been kept up to date are the ones maintained by the web team
and areas they cross over into significantly.
