I don't know what it means to be a "formal subproject", but I'm +1 for disconnecting the examples from our releases, and putting them in their own repo to assist in making that happen. I'm not sure what to do about wikisearch. It should probably go in there, too, but what about its existing repo? Should we request to have it deleted when it's moved in as an example?
I also wonder what the ASF rule-of-thumb is for stuff like this... the examples aren't really "projects" in the sense that they are moving towards an official ASF "release", so much as they are code serving as runnable documentation. I do have the concern that every contrib/subproject/extra git repo Accumulo has seems to be almost entirely ignored, and I don't want that to happen to the examples.
