Ah! I mentioned TeX because technically it’s the basis of everything.

Alright.
I went ahead and pushed an updated version as
f0efa6afc5f180f778eb320631a71f42bf1b211f. I kept the section title, but
explicitly mentioned ConTeXt and LuaTeX in the first paragraph.
This is a starting point anyway, so everyone please feel free to update
it as you see fit or when things change.
Thanks for the quick feedback!
