I suggest that instead of a wiki, the documentation gets into the main repo
in a "documentation" folder, as .mediawiki and/or as .md and/as .adoc
files. together with the source code. I think this allows a better
synchronization of source vs doc as it's possible to say on a Gerrit patch
or PR "Please update file xyz.adoc" at the same time. It also allows to
track contributors to documentation as code contributors, reflected in the
same Git history, facilitating inclusion of doc related changes in N&N,
which is relatively fair.
Since GitHub provides an "edit" button which automatically starts a PR and
has a good preview for doc files, it is as simple to contribute to doc in
the GitHub repo than it is the contribute directly to a wiki. It also
allows to enforce review which ultimately lead to more awareness from
committers about what needs to be documented (leading to ideas of
improvements) and improve quality of the documentation (preventing
erroneous statements in documentation).

Cheers
