Well, what about treating wiki as sort of "landfill" of documentation? 
Anyone can make an attempt to make the docs better, and some "reviewers" 
will be overlooking the changes. Approval from any of the reviewers 
would mean taking the changes from wiki and putting them back to the 
docbook sources, which will be the only "official" documentation.

It would be necessary to find a way how to propagate these changes from 
wiki to docbook automatically, though.
