While it is true that wiki software (media wiki etc) allows anyone with account 
to edit the pages,
in my opinion, it will be a bit overkill just for posting updates.
And also wiki will be missfit for the job, aesthetically and may not be that 
user friendly.

Meanwhile anyone with a github account can contribute to the website if we are 
going in github route.
also having statically generated website means portability of the content, you 
just have to copy static html files when moving servers, It just needs a server 
with apache or nginx, no need of php, mysql etc.
while mediawiki and other cms need additional packages and database management 
and maintenance is something that I think we are avoiding.

Another plus point with statically generated website on github (or any other 
repository, gitlab too has pages support) is that if the volunteer maintaining 
the website somehow is not available or gets busy with life,
someone else can fork it and continue to maintain it easily.
