Nope, but the proposal is to create one. People have been rather busy but ideally a draft such section should be sent out by the end of this week? Or rather, the proposal is to create a small one, and use it to point to a page on e.g. the haskell wiki that is more organized and comprehensive, but such a page also needs to be created.

I agree that “third party” is not a good label. Do you have a better suggestion? “Other installers and distributions”?
