I only have anecdotal examples.  Here's a docs fix I made a few days ago 
and which started me thinking about the issue:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286265

Filing the bug and getting review took more time than making the change 
and checking it in, which is tremendously inefficient for patches like 
this with a high likelihood of being good as is (or at least good enough).

We do need more people who write docs, but we also need to make the most 
of their time.
