If the mirror experiment is successful, the devguide might be the next experiment. It does not have any one maintainer, and *is* tied to the tracker. But herein lies the problem with the devguide. There are 22 issues, down just 1 from about a year ago. All but 2 are more than a year old. Many (most?) have patches, but enough consensus for anyone to push is hard. As with other doc issues, there is no 'test' for when a non-trivial patch is 'good enough' and hence, in my opinion, too much bikeshedding and pursuit of the perfect.
Speaking as someone who contributed to the devguide, I think it has become good enough and have therefore largely stopped caring. Also, many requests seem to be of the "please add this thing" kind, which is a slippery slope. Regards Antoine.
