At Colin's behest I added a few more bugs for docs on which I am

Great! Glad to know work on the docs project has started up again.
Colin also helpfully entered a bug regarding ESR's Fedora
Multimedia
HOWTO. However, I think that this particular request may not be one that
the Fedora Documentation Project should handle. You can read the bug and
my comments here, after which my reasons might be clearer:

I agree. I don't think the Fedora Docs Project is the place for
information on adding non-open source software to Fedora, especially if
that software is not legal.

As an aside, remember that documentation that is published under the
GNU
FDL is suitable fodder for inclusion in the FDP. The FDL is an obvious
signal of the author's intent to share this content with others. It's
always courteous, though, and probably a good SOP, to let the author
know your intentions; if nothing else, it gives them a "warm fuzzy" that
their work might go on to help a broader audience. The particular case
in point may not be the best example of material the FDP should include,
but it's definitely a good example of how to put the FDL to good use.
