In my opinion, we should move all still relevant contents from the Wiki
to somewhere else (except the RFCs, for now).  There is already quite
some duplication/overlap and grossly outdated info, and in the long run
that likely gets worse.

Some parts of gitfaq can likely be dropped; I guess nowadays most
developers are generally comfortable using Git.  Some parts appear to be
more appriate in gitworkflow (which should probably be moved to
<https://github.com/php/policies>).  And some parts are likely best
moved to <https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/docs>.  Or maybe
move the whole page to php-src/docs as first step.  Anyhow, moving
contents to Github also allows for better collaboration via PRs.

After a move, the page can be quickly edited to link to the new place(s).

Note that I'm not against giving you edit access to the Wiki, but it's
not quite that simple; well, it's not hard, but would be uncommon nowadays.
