Comment (by Frank Klein):

 Thanks for working on this patch @omarreiss. The proposed reorganisation
 makes sense, and I look forward to seeing this land in Core.

 On the subject of the ease of contribution, I consider that this can be
 solved by creating better documentation. Web development has become more
 complex, and there's no way to get rid of that complexity, as it is there
 for a reason. Let's not remain stuck in the "good old days" of "hacking"
 on WordPress using MAMP.

 As far as Gutenberg is concerned, I do not necessarily see it as being the
 determining factor for how Core should handle JavaScript. There is no
 technical requirement for having to keep the build system that Gutenberg
 uses. And considering the small numbers of Gutenberg contributors,
 familiarity with the plugin's build process is not an argument.
