Of course that is debatable :) - I think the discussion ought to be about how to
lower the bar to contribute documentation by making it more accessible/hackable
and preferably concentrating in one place.

IMHO, the Github wiki should probably be that place, and the workflow
markdown/rst/org -> pandoc -> pdf/html (& possibly gh-pages). It makes it easy
to contribute via $EDITOR + git or a convenient web interface.

My $0.02 :)
