I think it would be better to send a dak patch turning the manual
processing for debian-faq by-hand into automatic by-hand processing.
There are multiple examples of automatic by-hand processing in dak,
so it should not be very hard to do that.

The ftp protocol is irrelevant here, since the documentation is
available on the mirrors irrespective of what protocol is used to
contact them or if the mirror is an offline one available on disk.

I think the rationale remains the same; that the mirrors should have a
readable copy of some Debian documentation. If anything I would argue
that that documentation available there should be increased to also
include the Debian install guide and perhaps other documentation.
