org-drill is up on MELPA now. It's been cleaned up a lot, and a few bugs
fixed. And, I have no doubt, more new ones introduced, as I have touched
about half of the lines of code.

So, I think it can come out of contrib now, and the website updated. I
have also wound in org-learn.el. How many users that on its own I do not
know, so, it's hard to know whether it needs to remain or not;
regardless, org-drill is no longer a reason for keeping it.
