Would the kind of thing you see here be acceptable to you?

Yes, although I don't want to be considered arrogant that it should only
be 'acceptable to me'; but when the last Patch-nanny decided he was
going 'spend more time with his family' (so to speak speaking) and
wanted to pass on the role to someone else, the silence from the
LilyPond community was deafening. I know that real developers would
pitch in if need be, but it has taken me away from doing documentation
patches - my original role - as I simply do not have time to do this and
any documentation that is of any significant size or that may require a
lot of back-and-forth as we polish and refine some explanatory section
that needs an overhaul.
Note that the GitHub comment threads can also include extracts from
the patch(es) under consideration, with comments directly under
relevant lines of code.
As per previous discussion, GitHub itself shouldn't be used for
Lilypond, but I'm reasonably confident we can get similar
functionality out of other tools.
Good, let's hope so. Then *if* we ever need someone else to do this
role, it will be a relatively flat learning curve (no programming
experience necessary) and just one purely of process.
