This could help out with keeping the manuals maintained. I wonder how 
this could work with a "merge" team that just makes changes as needed to 
already-completed documentation, to keep reviewers and writers moving 
forward with cleaning up and creating new. Depending on frequency of 
updates and changes, that may or may not be important.

Also, maybe overlapping responsibilities. Someone (Greg, I think?) had 
suggested categorizing the extensions differently than the "Front End / 
Back End" or alphabetical way they currently are. Perhaps a team member 
could "watch over" a category or two or however many categories their 
documents are in. Then, if other documents in those categories have lost 
their maintainer, or are just getting behind in updates, those documents 
would have a backup maintainer.

Obviously, more room for specifics, but something we can work out if 
that would be a good system, document "ownership". :)
