I noticed that mediawiki ships with a lot of holes in it.  I would
have expected the excellent online docs to either be scattered
throughout a default installation or available as something that's
importable.

This is the first I've heard of a licensing problem with the existing
documentation.

Yes, others should be contacted on this and a general plan should be
made (i.e. what are the topic goals and what is the "win situation")

I want to help.  Where do I begin?
