The second part is the guidelines (i.e. the document with the coding rules). I think Boost is not the right place for it, and neither isocpp is. This is a too controversial document, whoever is writing it, so it should probably be in a book or something that clearly states that this is the author's personal opinion.

One person isn't writing it. It is an MIT licensed open source project, based on work that goes back at least to Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu's 2004 C++ Coding Standards book. The project's initial editors are Bjarne Strustrup and Herb Sutter, although they are looking for additional editors, contributors, and proof readers. Pull requests are accepted.

Ok, so it's a collective authorship. But that still doesn't make isocpp the right place for it.
