That is what I did in `workflow-plugin`, for reasons similar to those
you outline.

There was some discussion about this topic in the context of the
Jenkins 2.0 website. I was not really involved but IIRC there was
general agreement that it would be nice to have plugin documentation
maintained (a) in markup in SCM, rather than in a wiki, (b) in
per-plugin repositories rather than globally (meaning that the site
would somehow suck in conventionally-named files from other
repositories). Someone involved in this work should fill in details.

I think the rule was that they had to *have* a wiki page, and use that
as the `<url>` in `pom.xml`. But the wiki could merely be a stub
linking to the real docs.
