Re: Why don't we set up an official wiki for GCC documentation?

[...] I don't think wiki is a good solution for our documentation right now. Our documentation is mostly in .texi, which isn't hard to modify at all.

One win for a wiki in this case is that it's a way to "prototype" documentation; everybody bang on a description of a neglected area, converge on something that seems good, then submit as a patch to the .texi files. The patch process is kind of inefficient for wordsmithing, as the lengthy doc patch threads suggest.
