Code Review

It seems ye've decided speed is more important than safety, tossin' yer wget commands into the background without a care for whether they actually succeed. Since wait only reports the status of the last job, yer script will happily sail into a storm if the earlier fetches fail. I've provided a suggestion to properly track yer PIDs, though I suppose that's too much work for a lazy sailor. Also, yer comments about 'groups' are now as useless as a map with no ink—update 'em to reflect that everything's a free-for-all now. At least ye had the sense to move proselint to a lazy import in mkdocs_hooks.py to save us some weight.

Ye've gone and tossed all yer wget commands into the background like a drunken sailor tossin' dice. While it might be faster, set -e won't catch a failure in those backgrounded tasks. If one of 'em fails to fetch a vital map—like that module-list.json ye claim to need—yer script will just sail right on into the rocks because wait only returns the exit code of the last job. But I'm sure ye knew that and just didn't think it was worth the effort to check, eh? Ye should be checkin' every single one of 'em to ensure the whole fleet is present.

# The module-list.json is needed by link_apps_pages.py below, so we must
# fetch that group first. Everything within each group runs in parallel.

Ye talk of 'groups' and 'fetching first', but ye've lumped 'em all together like a pile of salt fish. I suppose accuracy in yer comments is too much to ask when ye're in such a hurry to shave off a few seconds? If ye want to be clear to the next poor soul who reads this map, ye might want to update yer scribbles to reflect that everything's happenin' at once now.

.github/fetch_includes.sh isnt used at build time.

I think most of the time is spent building the search index? First step is probably a profile of where the time is going.
