I'd prefer this one.

Hmm - the issue tracker plugins are most likely only interesting to
developers, not users.

I don't think we should name that folder 'contrib' because it doesn't
contain user contributions.

I suggest to move the 'translation-status' and 'po-checker' inside our
doc folder somewhere.

I'm not sure about the 'drupal-modules', but IMHO it would belong into
the www folder.

yes.

That too belongs in contrib-user.

That's not a big problem. After reorganizing this, the nightly build
might be broken for a day or two - no big deal.

If we're reorganizing stuff anyway: I really don't like the externals in
drupal-modules/translation-status. I know you need them for the scripts
which run on the server. But they already *are* in our sourcetree and
the externals duplicate them.
Would it be possible to change either the scripts to use the original
files or change the update script on the server to get them from the
original location? Or if that's not suitable, create a new folder in the
repo root where those externals are set and then use that folder instead
on the server?
