We still need to review it. If you write it wrong, the doc won't
compile, Tinderbox will turn red, and as soon as we release a new
version of Bugzilla, we cannot revert the doc (in that version). Wiki is
not tied to a single release (which has advantages and disavantages,
because you may talk about something which is not available in your
specific version) and can be updated at any time. So as long as
something is checked in into CVS, being docs or code, it must be
reviewed. Colin and others are pretty fast to do such reviews anyway.

So feel free to file a bug and attach a patch. :) We all agree that some
imperfect doc is better than no doc at all, and we rarely deny review
based on this criteria (unless it's plain wrong or too complex to read).
When we deny review, it's rather because the doc won't compile or the
doc is written at the wrong location.
