Also, is there any way to add info on existing tools?
I learned from Bryan yesterday that this is possible via toolsadmin (Bryan helped with one of our tools yesterday via https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/wikinav for that particular tool). Toolhub then updates the list of tools every hour and you should see your tool in toolhub. I hope this helps.
Leila is correct that if a record is being imported from the list of toolinfo.json that Toolforge publishes at https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/toolinfo/v1/toolinfo.json it can be updated using the https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/ interface.
More generally, toolinfo records can be edited at the source they entered Toolhub from. This is either a toolinfo.json file read by Toolhub's web crawler component, or Toolhub's UI & API. The UI is an API client, so Toolhub does not differentiate here.
While adding tools into the hub, it would be great if there remains an option to add the contributors of the tool in addition to the primary developer.
I think this is similar to the question at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Toolhub#Multiple_authors.
I would really appreciate additional questions being sent either on the https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Toolhub talk page or filed as Phabricator tasks under https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/toolhub/. I love that y'all are exploring the tool and asking good questions, but it is difficult to respond to messages cross posted to multiple mailing lists (some of which I'm not subscribed to).
