Hello, in Arrow we have the website in the main repository [1] as Markdown files. Review is done with patches like any other project. The deployment to the actual Apache servers is done using a separate (magic) git-repo. This is working really nice for us (and also some other Apache projects are also happy with this approach). I would also recommend to use this for Parquet. The only negative point I see is that the deployment is still done manually: a committer needs to run a script locally that builds the site and push the rendered version back to the magic git repo so that site is updated.
