That might be the case for the questions you came across. The mere
traffic on this list proves that there are indeed loads of questions the
documentation doesn't answer. Also this kind of thread about how
improvable the documentation is occurs frequently on this list. The last
big attempt to make the docs better has AFAIK been this one:
http://www.nabble.com/Maven-2.x-documentation-tf382504s177.html#a1055690
Possibly that sort of campaign should be done on a regular base or, even
better, Maven should have a technical writer who cares about
documentation issues. I'm aware of the fact that Maven is a open source
project, however, there are businesses built around it (among other
tools) that might have an interest in better docs and less rant on the
mailing list.
Just my 2 cents (I'm no native English speaker and therefore
unfortunately can't really help with this kind of task).

Don't let the fact that you're not a native English speaker stop you
from contributing to the documentation. I'm not a native English speaker
myself and started out here at the Maven project by improving the
documentation.
Reading your mails on this list, I can say that your English skills are
good enough for writing Maven documentation in English ;-)
