Hm.  Let's see if this one could work.

- someone sets up an editable web site (like a wiki) but with an
  additional feature: when it is opened, it contains a wikified copy of
  the manual.  (Either the stable version or the snapshot.)

- people who want to correct something open the wiki and edit the
  manual.  Then, after checking all the changes, they press a button
  that formats the changes and sends them to the maintainers.

That would do the job.  However, I do not know how to implement it, and
some details are missing.  A wiki wzard is needed here, I suppose.
