For new authors, the format of their submission is not important. I can
not stress this enough: authors should focus on content. We, at the back
end, editors and the like, will take care of any conversion needed and
make sure presentation of the content is ok. We should get over this
docbook/linuxdoc/asciidoc/whateverdoc discussion because it frightens
people. If a new author sends an HTML or a LateX file, or even an (Open)
Office doc, that's fine.
