As already mentioned on IRC, I think in this case I would move the
information for the DDs to the devref and reference it on the wiki
with "if you are a DD, see also section X in devref". Currently when I
search something related to general DD tasks I first look in the
devref and not in the wiki. In particular most of the DebianMaintainer
wiki page is for those wanting to become a DM, I only found the
granting permissions section after looking a second time.
In general I would put information specific for people who are already
DDs in the devref written with the assumption that everyone who reads
it is a DD. The wiki on the other hand is more "public facing", so I
would put here more introductory content (like "what can I do as a DM"
and "how I can become a DM").
