I suggest each library gets its own home page (on
http://boostorg.github.io/>, or somewhere else if that doesn't
exist yet), which contains some boilerplate (default) project info with
pointers to docs, issue tracker, and other project-specific info.
Library maintainers can then customize that page according to their own
needs.

(I'm already using that approach for http://boostorg.github.io/python/,
but this is obviously not yet advertised from Boost's main website.)
