If I have proper contributions, incorporating them would not take more then 20 minutes. However the current case is I do the digging into the mailing list, find the interesting topics (well sometimes interesting for me maybe) and collect the answers, see if they make sense or not. If it does make sense, meaning the method or solution provided does not decreases the security of the installed system or will not make a huge effect when the system is upgraded then I incorporate it in to the FAQ. I have many times posted on this very list and asked for contributions and help. What I have received in return does not count more then my two hands' fingers.
Second, the highly structured organization of his FAQ is complementary to, not a replacement for, the flat structure of SDB.
