We are a single project, so it is better to consistently follow the
local convention established here.

If your proposal were to

 - Convert t/*.sh to end with .t intead, to change the project
   convention, and

 - Make contrib/ things also conform to that new convention.

it may make some sense to discuss the pros and cons of such a move,
but changing only contrib/ has no effect other than making it even
less consistent with the rest of the project.
