Wikis have their own version control and they're meant for a much wider audience. I think general documentation definitely belongs on a wiki, not git. Edit, fix typo, done in 30 seconds :)
No, I am unaware of any consensus on any changes, just have a vague feeling that MoinMoin is somewhat as appreciated in Debian as CDBS :-) Anyone interested in discussing practicalities of migrating away from MoinMoin for the Debian wiki, please join the tinker mailinglist at https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/blend-tinker-devel
I'd be interested in knowing more as well. I can't imagine there are more features in MoinMoin that can't be migrated to MediaWiki and friends, so I want to find out what I'm missing.
