I think the "change suggestions" should be something similar to bug 
reports, with fixed workflow that enables developers/doc editors to 
easily find out present suggestions, possibly discuss them with the 
submitter, and finally mark them as done or invalid. At least to me this 
looks something similar to what an issuer tracker software does.

Adding support for other VCSes in Pydocweb is reasonably straightforward 
(write a suitable pull script specific for your repository arrangement, 
see eg. www.pymvpa.org/edt where it's running with Git). There's actually 
no Subversion-specific code in Pydocweb even though it says "SVN" in the 
UI.

But perhaps Georg had something more lightweight in mind; not so much an 
app for editing documentation, but one for just hosting static versions 
of Sphinx docs with search/feedback features.
