One point Peter raised on IRC is it is easier to update a Wiki page than get a patch merged into the repository. IOW we are making things harder. GitLab provides a wiki for all tiers, but requires contributors to have the Developer role to be able to modify the wiki: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/#edit-a-wiki-page I suppose this is a no-go since currently it is enought having contributors as reporters (to fill issues). Alternative could be to have a qemu-wiki project within qemu-project gitlab namespace, and have point to this one instead (currently we point to the external wiki).
