In debtags, I have various bits of information that I wish they were maintained in the Debian wiki, such as the FAQ and other pieces of documentation. I think more packages, and the wiki itself, could benefit if this procedure could become a bit more standardised. Indeed something like a push/pull from the wiki into the VCS could do the job; is there really no utility to replay changes from Moin's history to a VCS, and changes from a VCS history into moin?
