Sorry, just getting back to email after a few days I will mention that anyone is welcome to quote any of the thing's I've mentioned when talking to apache/whatever, if you think it could help the case.
In the mean time I'll also put forward the idea of a more decentralized community lead documentation system, which would be independent of any Apache oversight. For example, I've compiled wiki information here, and will encourage other to follow suit: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8899608/what-is-the-state-of-whitelisting-in-phonegap-1-3-0 We could then make a wiki linking to the best SO questions & answers. Its only a shame that the phonegap tag page doesn't allow for a little more cohesive functionality that way.
