The page name aren't directly meaningful. In contrib.md for instance I would expect to find how to contribute. In git.md instead I would expect to find how to download GNU Boot but not how to contribute. Since the authors page isn't meaningful anymore for GNU Boot as it has different priorities than Libreboot at the time where it was fully free, and also because GNU Boot also wants to put forward smaller contributions, especially contributions that aren't recorded in git. As the GNU Boot project doesn't have the same community or dynamics than the Libreboot project had, the gaps it has are different. So we also try to put forward contributions that fills these gaps. However since this page is very important historically, so we need to keep it not to forget about it. So to fix that we added GNU Boot's point of view and moved it in the history section.

Keymaps are stored in resources/grub/keymap/
You can use the ckbcomp program to generate a keymap, based on Xorg keymap
files:
ckbcomp fr > frazerty
When you build GRUB from source, you can use the grub-mklayout program to
create a special keymap file for GRUB. Learn how to build GRUB
When you've built GRUB, using lbmk (libreboot build system), take your kepmap
file (generated by ckbcomp) and run it through grub-mklayout like so:
cat frazerty | ./grub/grub-mklayout -o frazerty.gkb
Place the newly created .gkb file under resources/grub/keymap in lbmk. When
you build Libreboot, a ROM image with GRUB payload and your newly created
keymap will be available under the bin/ directory.
Learn how to build Libreboot ROM images
Many keymaps exist in the Libreboot build system, but sometimes you must
manually tweak the file created by ckbcomp, adjusting the scan codes in that
file, before converting to a GRUB keymap file. Therefore, it would be unwise to
automatically add all keymaps in GRUB.
If you've added a keymap to lbmk, and it works, please submit a patch!
