I polished the changes, applied them to all projects (ORM, OGM, Validator,
Search), and sent a PR: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate.org/pull/126
Could you guys review it? Mainly I'd need one person per project to check
they agree with the changes, especially in their project's section.
Also, there's still a bit of work to do for each project, mainly filling in
missing metadata (see the PR).
