Also, no entry for DataTables itself. Is there a reason or should I open a
ticket to report it?


Some opinions about:

Might be tough to be reliably maintained. Maybe not actually, it's not often to
have library updates and a QA guideline to remind to keep the about page up to
date would do.

Maybe, if someone wants to volunteer to implement it why not. Or maybe we
prefer to spare any new string for translators unless necessary? Or even a few
dozen are not a big deal?

> - Should we change to a bullet list?
> - Versions of libraries: many seem quite old or not updated for a while.

Now that you remention it, it might have enough value as a technical
documentation. Both for regular development and when looking at security
issues. Oops, I understood that as creating a ticket to add the version for all
libraries. Answer to your question comes later down.

Even the small ones, multiple of them might need to test and tweak a lot of
pages. So overall it might be equivalent like if we had another (or multiple
more?) Bootstrap, jQuery, datatable.

Seems like the current situation due to limited resources. It's seems hard
enough at the moment to keep the biggies up to date. Unless there is some spare
capacity after catching up for security, compatibility, big bugfixes. Until
then it's tough to plan for general updates of the rest. If someone needs a new
feature or just has an itch for updating a library it can still happen.
