As for authoring tools, show me one that produces SGML or XML that's

Most of the ones I've seen would render the doc sources unreadable for
anyone not using an authoring tool (possibly even the very same
authoring tool). We are not going to move in that direction
because it would piss off the people who do the bulk of the work now.
+1
With regards to the current setup discouraging contribution - I've done
one (or maybe two) doc submissions and ISTR that it was not very
difficult - even as a complete SGML newbie - to get up and running, make
my changes and build the (HTML) docs.
