Well, there is no reason why you can't vote in people as "documentation
committers". 

The party line might be a bit unclear here. If you use the Confluence
Wiki as the "web site generator" like e.g. Geronimo does (create your
web site on the wiki, then use the export plugin to export a static
version of the site), then everyone allowed to write on that wiki must
have signed a CLA. They don't need to be committers, but they must have
signed a CLA.

AFAIK, those limitations are not for the "regular" Wikis under
wiki.apache.org (which are MoinMoin wikis). There could be a few special
incubator rules, too. :-)
