Well, nobody is in charge.  This is an Open Source project, so people do 
what they like, and apparently nobody liked taking care of the 
documentation.

I fail to see how.  The developers seemed to be quite capable of doing 
without the outdated documentation...

Oh, and if you wanted to suggest that better documentation could give QEmu 
a bigger user community: as far as I can tell, nobody working on QEmu 
would have any benefit from a larger user base.
