That may not be a bad idea in itself actually. My understanding is there's been an ongoing effort to move technical documentation from Meta to MediaWiki and WikiTech. I'd be happy to assist with that. Already looking at ways to improve the MW developer hub in ways that will hopefully make it look as clean and approachable as the new Meta one.
My main concerns are confusing developers and enterprise wikis sysadmins. My impression is there's an intent to direct enterprise wikis and developers specifically to MW.org and I don't think they'd think to look to Meta to find companion development work. Most, if not all, development efforts that seemed to start as WMF specific (bots, tool server and mobile especially) have gone on to be used by enterprise wikis. I'd be sad to see that dynamic change and for them to be left out of some potential tools and software.
My only request is that developments also link to MW so non-WMF wikis can benefit from the work and that an effort be made to convert WMF specific projects to MW, maybe upon completion, for use by other wikis.

Right if you got no problem moving all c#, python and such stuff to mediawiki site, no problem :) I created in on meta to avoid people telling me: don't add stuff which got nothing to do with mediawiki development here!

Hi,
The difference is that current hub was only for developers of mediawiki, this one is for everything including tools, bots and various tech stuff related to wikimedia projects
Still, I'd prefer it to be on www.mediawiki.org Not everything on mediawiki.org is mediawiki php code, see for instance pywikipediabot code review: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia
