I have been making minor modifications to documentation of various cookbook recipes and etc over the past few days whenever I find anything that was unclear or something like that or making inline comments when I find something that doesn't work as stated. Then I noticed that a lot of people don't make changes in the actual wiki document but instead make comments at the bottom. What is appropriate etiquette in this community?

In my opinion, and speaking for recipes I've authored, trivial improvements are ok if you just do them. Adding inline comments and questions should also be fine. It's only if you wish to make major changes that I think you'd be better of preparing it as a draft, and then checking the with the maintainer that you haven't introduced something bad or incorrect.

Does it make a difference whether the "maintained by:" is filled in perhaps?

Hmm... well, if there's a maintainer and you add an important question etc, maybe it'd be a good idea to notify him? Not sure about this.
