Contributions would be very welcome. For the Getting Started list,
that would be: https://github.com/boostorg/more/tree/master/getting_started

For a header-only tag on the library list page, we will make sure the
new website in development has this feature.

(It might involve adding that information to each library's
meta/libraries.json to indicate whether it is header-only or not)
