Nobody believed me when I told this months ago :-(

Chris Tillman did some updates on powerpc, but I think those were
still related to woody.

Well, it seems currently I am the (unvoluntory) team, recently joined
by Steinar H. Gunderson.

1. I'm not very good in English language (doing just small updates)
2. I haven't seen anything but i386 (updating only i386 parts)
3. I'm not a DD (being afraid of making changes)

Given this, we need more manpower (ideally native speakers).

Generic chapters of the manual are up-to-date, but anything
arch-specific really comes from woody times.
I've updated some i386 bits & links, but don't count on that.
