As a developer I am really opposed to inflicting git's pull/request
work flows on Humans. IMO docs and code have a highly divergent set
of attributes and what makes git good for code doesn't help at all
with docs, in fact the complexity of git work flow is just a barrier
to entry for a lot of potential docs contributors.
Elsewhere I mentioned online editing in a git repo (which could be
made transparent to a user). The user edits in a web browser, and
doesn't worry about the pull-request mechanics. I'm not married to
that by any means. But it seems to me that someone clicking a link,
editing in a text entry form, and hitting a "Save" button without
having to do any other work is a pretty low barrier and worth aiming
for.
