I don't recall a discussion about this change, but I think it goes against
previous efforts to make the website the one canonical location for our
documentation. I don't even think infra is backing up wiki repos, so there
wouldn't even be a record of the wiki contents in ASF spaces (vs. the main
repo, which is backed up to GitBox and the issue tracker, which CCs the
notifications list).

In short, I think this should be reverted and we should not use the GitHub
wiki. If we need to store documents in a version controlled way, we can
store them on the website, or in our project's SVN dev space. The wiki is
just another place people would have to follow if they want to participate,
and I don't think that serves us. Therefore, I think we shouldn't use it.
