Mark is asking specifically about a committer's contribution. No CLA is
required in this case. Nor is it strictly required that a committer's
contribution pass through Gerrit or Bugzilla.
The type of the content really doesn't matter. Content in markdown is
considered intellectual property as much as software source code. The IP
Due Diligence process applies in both cases. Having said that, the
project website and wiki are a bit special. You don't generally require
a CQ for website or wiki content. But, as Gunnar states, the Website
Terms and Conditions apply.
I recommend checking with your PMC.
Gunnar, you are his PMC :-)

Personally, I would say that a CQ is not needed. Yes, it is new content but
it's not code. The same contribution could have happened as a wiki page. We do
not require CQs for wiki pages - no matter how long they are. I believe content
added to the wiki is covered by the website terms and condition.
Is this a Gerrit review, pull request or Bugzilla patch?
Did the contributor signed the CLA?
