Just a thought!
We have to weigh the convenience for the user to add comments/create a patch against the effort for the doc editors of integrating these contributions. Verifying comments/edits and bringing them into appropriate form can be a considerable task and currently we don't have many people who are doing this. From my experience with the wiki, I wouldn't over-emphasize the value of an instant-comment/edit form. It seems that most users in the wiki don't bother to improve existing pages. What happens more often is that somebody writes up some info on a new page (and, if you're lucky, also maintains it afterwards). But still there are about a dozen useful non-spam comments every three months or so. So I would prefer a form that automatically creates a ticket in trac (whether with or without a patch I don't care). But this would definitely would need a good spam proteecting from the start. We don't want to have to clean up hundreds of bogus trac tickets constantly.
