Just edit the wiki straight up, it's easy enough to do further updates
as necessary. Keeps it quick and simple and the wiki handles
versioning etc.

Just update it, it's already the case in fedora-arm-installer.

For fedora-arm-installer the upstream git repo is at [1], we need to
improve the way we handle all the possible combinations of boards we
possibly support to make it less manual and easier to support more
boards without having to manually update them all. Ideas and
suggestions welcome, patches even more so. Some sort of menu system
based on SoC might be useful but I've not really had the time to look
at it closely.
You could generate most of the target links in boards.d easy enough with a script, but then you have this 60 board list that might overwhelm some users. So ya, I think a menu system might be best.
