So you have a lot of experience with the difficult group of people,
but you don't have so much experience with the useful group of people,
which not always want do get involved as a maintainer or have much
contact with people even by mail. Some people does not want to
contribute because they are used to that maintainers are so busy that
they don't have time to reply or include the contribution.
These people actually exist. With a wiki these people can be included.
