OTOH, the current system seems to ensure that many parts of WineHQ are very outdated. Isn't there a compromise where Wiki's upfront editing capabilities can be used to ensure up-to-date, dynamic content while you also make sure that nobody wrecks the pages? I'm no wiki expert, but it seems like an obvious solution to have the pages editable only by a certain class of users. People wanting to edit something could then just ask for edit access for certain pages for correcting this or that on wine-devel and be granted those privileges on a case-by-case basis. Or is that simply impossible..
