The problem we have is that outdated pages usually are outdated in
more than one.  It is not just the product name that is wrong.  It
could have incorrect email addresses, URLs, descriptions of project
organization, broken external links, etc.  And then there is
information that is technically obsolete as well.

An idea: mark all pages with two tags:

1) Needs branding review
2) Need technical review

(or names with similar meaning)

Then we can slowly, over time, review each of these pages and update
them.  When the branding review is done we remove the "Needs branding
review" tag, for example.   It would be possible, I assume, to have a
page that simply lists all pages with a given tag, so we can review
the (hopefully shrinking) list of pages needing review.

This would yield tasks that any volunteer could work on, even with
just an hour of free time.

We could maintain a special page that lists the most common
corrections, to make them easier to apply.
