We have a similar problem with TeX documentation. In my opinion, using menu
categories for doc-base might have been a good start, but we should definitely
extend that now.
I'm currently in semi-VAC mode and don't have time to discuss this or even check
the archives - but if I remember right, the problem is that there is no one who
really maintains doc-base.
