+1. There have been several times I've wanted to fix something in the documentation, and would have via github if it had been available. As it was, I sent an email to the list and someone else did it for me. In my case, the fixes got in, but it took more time and effort for me and presumably also for the people making the fix (compared to just responding to a pull request, for example). I do remember debating whether it was worth the trouble to report the typo when I realized I had to send an email describing exactly where the typo was.
