I'll just add a few points:

Pull requests are not likely to happen.  It's not worth fighting over.
 However, I think that is a weak excuse for not contributing.  If you
want to contribute a complex bug fix, then the patch process is
trivial by comparison.  If you want to contribute doc fixes and think
that the patch process is too cumbersome (or in the case of the wiki,
not applicable) then there are numerous options in order of decreasing
visibility:

 - use Github's annotation capabilities to add editorial comments
(e.g. https://t.co/UXrsMk2M)
 - mailing lists
 - send a tweet
 - IRC
 - email your suggested enhancements to the maintainer

There are many ways to contribute valuable documentation and minor bug
fixes than the patch system.  In most cases a matter of rights never
comes into play because using editorial commentary and the
identification of bugs fall under the aegis of fair use (otherwise Joy
of Clojure would have 24 co-authors).  There are other advantages to
Github besides pull requests, annotations being just the one that
directly pertains to this discussion.   If you want to help then there
are numerous ways to do so.  If you want to push an agenda then by all
means continue this thread.

I would love to see a better system in place for contributing to the
wiki.  I have no solution sadly.

Likewise I would love to see a separate mailing lists and IRC for
ClojureScript -- although nothing is stopping someone from creating
them except the promise of a thankless job in moderation.  Maybe
that's why it hasn't happened yet - everyone is hoping someone else
will do the dirty work. ;-)

We're all friends here. Everyone wants to help.  There are ways to
help that do not involve endless mailing list threads and personal
distaste of process.
