The practicality argument of being able to edit those docs without having to master a separate (pydotorg) workflow sounds quite strong to me.

This is the key point for me. For developer controlled stuff, the easiest place to have it if we want it kept up to date is in the source tree. Second best is the wiki. Having it off in a separately managed repository (that exists for perfectly valid reasons, since a lot of the content isn't developer controlled) is annoying.

That said, in this case, what's the advantage of the source tree over the wiki? To include it in the main docs, so people reading them offline can still see the contribution workflow?

Cheers, Nick.
