Does someone want to do a Mediawiki extension for Google Summer of Code or
the like to implement a riff on that?
It's applicable to more than just software development, and the software
development it talks about includes collaborative documentation. I suspect
that it is very similar to general accuracy maintenance automation, and it
still works better with a human participant driving the process schedule
(to the extent that human is skilled at it) but there are some very
attractive opportunities for e.g. Wikidata and maintenance bot integration
down the road if it works out.

The paper you linked is kind of useless for actual details -
http://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings/hicss/2008/3075/00/30750024-abs.ht…
much better.
Personally i'm not very familar with requirement management methodology,
but the system they describe does sound like an interesting approach.
However it is primarilaly a social system for discussing things. Certain
technology does make it slicker, but you could still use this method right
now on the wiki if you felt like it. If some group thinks the "winwin"
method would be useful, perhaps they should try it out before we build
something, see if they like it.
I have no idea what this has to do with "Wikidata and maintenance bot
integration" (beyond requirements gathering for such things) or automation
of accuracy maintinance. What is essentially of interest in the paper is
the description of a framework for creating concensuss between humans with
differing goals. Given we mostly run on concensuss, such a framework may be
useful to people.
