one thing we discussed briefly in the BBB: the Coq contribution guide is long, and the dev/doc directory has tons of stuff. Maybe there is a need for contextual documentation, e.g., a short step-by-step guide for making changes to stdlib, one for fixing tool bugs (coqdoc), etc.

clearly the bar for fixing a coqdoc issue should be (is) much lower than for hacking kernel to add some metatheoretic extension, and the only difference emphasized in the contribution guide is "small" vs. "big".
