Except that almost nobody compiles the doc besides Colin, me and a few 
other reviewers. Many contributors have no working installation 
(doc-related, due to dependencies to compile them). Colin has plans to 
make things simpler, but I didn't hear from him for a long time. Colin?

That's not ideal, IMO. And someone would have to check all contributions 
to make sure someone is not adding some stupid stuff in it.

Because people don't care too much about updating the doc as soon as 
they understood how Bugzilla works, IMHO. We have a lot of stuff on Wiki 
now, and the number of contributions is not larger than for the doc in 
CVS, I think (based on pages I watch).
