This brings up something that has been tickling at the back of my mind since it was discussed last year at SUSECON and oSC. We should strongly consider migrating our packaging guidelines *out* of the openSUSE Wiki into a documentation site system. Wikis are terrible for navigation, discovery, SEO, and content control.
Fedora migrated their guidelines out of the wiki last year[1][2] and Debian has always had theirs not in a wiki[3]. When Fedora moved, they were able to simplify their change control process to just "make a pull request and the packaging committee would review it". I'm not saying that we have to exactly replicate that process, but pulling it out of the wiki and using a docs system for documentation would be nice...
I'd definitely welcome having the guidelines outside of the wiki and people actually reviewing those. However, I really don't know who those reviewers should be, as currently every devel project has its own set of unwritten rules that only a handful of people really know. And then there would be the question where these guidelines should be put?
