I created a task at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95681.

I'd argue that it's wrong to do it in the first place, because pages like Village Pump are in an even-numbered namespace, and their content is closer to talk pages than to content pages.
Yes, this is exactly why NS_TOPIC is conceptually neither a subject page (Wikipedia:Village pump) nor a talk page (Wikipedia talk:Village pump).
NS_TOPIC is a component of (one, but in the future one or more) Flow boards. That Flow board could be a subject page (Wikipedia:Village pump or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion) or a discussion page (Talk:Earth).
