Hey Mike,

The "page enumerating these shortcomings" IMHO, would be found at:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Bugzilla&component=Documentation&resolution=---
I say this by following this trail starting at http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/
1.  "Interested in helping to improve Bugzilla's documentation? See
our Bugzilla
Documentor's Guide <http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/documentor.html>."
2.  "Finding where we need help
<http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/documentor.html#finding-where>"
3.  "Lists of documentation bugs:

   - Open bugs in the Documentation Component
   <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Bugzilla&component=Documentation&resolution=--->
   "

Gervase,
I have experience installing and configuring Bugzilla 4.4 on Windows 2008
R2 SP1 using IIS 7.5.7600.  We use LDAP, so I _may_ be able to provide some
feedback there as well.  E.g. bug 922845.

I usually keep very good notes during _all_ installations.  But, it's been
a while.  So our current settings have probably drifted from my initial
notes.

That being said, my manager recently gave me permission to contribute to
open source projects.  Time permitting of course.  I'm new to this list,
but I feel I can add some documentation.  At the very least I can give
feedback on my personal experiences.
