(a) Yes.
(b) I'm interested in putting documentation for contributors there. (test
triage guide, precommit and postcommit guidelines, processes, etc.)
It'd be faster than having to go through the motions of a github pull
request and a review process.
(c) Anything that goes to a wide audience, such as SDK users. That would
need review.

Also, have you looked at https://wiki.apache.org/general/ ? (not sure if
that's Confluence)
