It will be a lot easier if we had a comprehensive grammar to go from wiki docs direct to document-v11. (Sorry, but I still haven't had a second to evaluate Ken's recent Forrest commits related to this which appear quite promising. ) Until then, there will be holes to fill manually because the current wiki grammar is but a subset of document-v11.
Otherwise we might have to do some tasks twice, like converting from Wiki to
current document DTD and later from this to document-v11?
Yes, but we automated this a while back so it's no major deal. We can perform a batch transformation on all docs at once when we transition.
I'd say if docs are deserving, they should move to the cvs asap. This is the kind of work that best fits my committer availability (blocks of time for batch work, not day-to-day availability). Should deserving candidates be proposed on:

or similar?
