A quick search using the PyPI search box suggests there are a *lot* of
extensions (a couple of hundred?) and even themes (dozens; more than I
expected).  I'm not sure how to search for sphinx-related software
other than extensions or themes with that UI.

I was surprised at just how many relevant packages were listed (a
testament to Sphinx's well-deserved success); I suspect the categories
are justified.  Getting the appropriate package maintainers to be
aware of and apply them is another matter.  That gets back to the
guidance question, which is really separate from this.
