Just an idea that i use with my site; I set up a new "Article" for each release of the docs I'm working on. Each article is a version number with special editing instructions as well as backup properties. Thus any "registered" editor can set up a new issue with all the *appropriate* info as well as wiki links to standardized items that are transcluded onto a page. Pretty clean and no issues after several years of use.
