No. Sourceforge is total overkill for one document.
my suggestion on this (instead of SF) is to setup a wiki-page.

This allows anyone to contribute to a page. this page can then be a basis
for the real HOW-TO doc (which would be read-only for anyone) .
I hate wikis - they are almost always harder to use than
a real how-to, and they are seldom converted into printable
form. Also, the editing interface of most wikis feels painfully
slow and nonintuitive.
On the other hand, if the author of the howto has never colaborated on
a document before and doesn't want to learn how to use the
proper tools, or does not have time to gather contributions from
people and add them in by hand, a wiki is better than nothing.
It won't print out well, though, so if the author's goal
is a printed document, he should stay away from wikis.
Or have the wiki-lovers and the docbook-lovers gotten together
to produce a docbook-wiki engine that spits out nice printed
documents and web pages?
