Hi André,

just a few thoughts on certain aspects of this interesting-looking 
subject...

I'd suggest to change the wording here to a positive form, like...
  "Some of these tasks *should* be done by non-developers"

or even better avoid the negative form completely: 
 "... done by a mixed team of (advanced?) documenters/end-
users/designers/ux'ers/whatever ..."

(what I don't like here is the word "help", as it suggests "doing minor-
value work", so the problem or part of the problem might be the at least 
somewhat "looking down" attitude of the developers?)

I like the idea to "make aware" as a first step. However...

If you mean: "How to make implementing new features more attractive to 
mixed teams instead of one-person-only?" then I think, this might be a 
very sensible area as one of the major motivations of at least part of 
the developers might be "to be the one who implements a feature". So 
your question might be "who is willing to pioneer a mixed development 
approach?"
