Yes, that's my worry as well. For that I'd like some "grand scheme"
feedback/actionplan.

doap:
+ can enforce that minimal amount of information is available
+ by using the doap files, should ensure that it is up to date
+ doap files are already used for various things
+ only one place where you update something, rest is automatic
- not the same as a wiki
- ensuring it is updated at right times requires sysadmin to setup
  initial process
- potential overlap between wiki and doap
- per git module, so 1 git module can only ever have 1 about page
  this would've been problematic for (historic): gnome-games

wiki:
+ can add any content you want (meeting logs, etc)
+ can easily be changed
- not as consistent
- might not cover every module
- not automatic (e.g. I see some people adding the releases manually..
  even if scripted, that is bad IMO)
