Raising the bar for getting things onto mozilla.org would probably only
discourage people from trying to put things there. Unlike the mozilla
source tree, documents can be just as useful if they're hosted
somewhere else. If you create elaborate requirements for content on
mozilla.org, people (like me) will just put documents elsewhere.
If we want to ensure the accuracy of documents on mozilla.org, I think
it would probably be better to have module owners / maintainers look at
the documents after they're checked in, if they feel the need. (Not
that I actually expect such review to happen much, since (on most
topics) we seem to have enough trouble getting documentation in the
first place, never mind reviewing it.)
