Is there any particular reason why Drupal would be needed at all? Jekyll could 
take
care of the complete page. As far as I can tell, there is nothing dynamic about 
the
current Saros site, and the user accounts wouldn't be needed anymore when 
editing
happens through Git and Gerrit. You could possibly save a database and a
maintenance-requiring content management system here.

Yeah, that's nice in general. I don't think that DocBook would fly with this 
developer
generation, though. It is a pretty complex format and writing / editing all of 
these
tags is quite tedious. Markdown, on the other hand, can be completely learned 
in an
hour or so (including possible Jekyll extensions). It is also the dominant 
documentation
format in the open-source space (alone for being the default README format in 
GitHub)
and it is very likely that developers already know Markdown. As the barrier to 
entry
should be as low as possible, I think these are important arguments.

Of course, the DocBook files have the advantage of actually already existing 
(provided
The content is current enough that this is an advantage).
