As mentioned in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130970, the bullet lists
the Etherpad edit surface are terrible, but if you use the export feature
you get properly structured HTML which can be pasted into VisualEditor.

A better solution would be to have the collaborative editing directly in
MediaWiki in the first place: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/COLLABPAD
