Good idea. As several people mentioned there *are* documents but most of them 
are out of date and the maintainers does not seem very reactive (overloaded, 
fed up, I don't know).

It clearly a dark area of the Debian project. The maintainers feel under 
attack when there is a criticism about it but it's true. I would advise new 
developers to do not trust documents in <http://www.debian.org/devel/> apart 
from the Policy Manual and the Developers Reference. Most of them should be 
removed from the Developer's Corner.
