I'd be happy to co-maintain the documentation -- I have a little
experience as a technical writer -- but I have a too much on my plate
right now to step up and volunteer as their head documentation manager.

Particularly as the first step would be grokking and mashalling the
various existing documentation -- such as understanding how the manual
gets built, and knowing how to monitor and review changes on the wiki.
(Currently I haven't even created an account for myself on the wiki, so
I can't edit it!)
