I think forcing maintainers to build docuemntation out of your
particular CVS area is not giong to fly. Doc-base, for instance,
where the Metadata policy is, is maintained on its own area
:ext:<user>@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/doc-base/. You should be flexible
enough to allow this.

sgml-base has our SGML "subpolicy", which does have some status as
policy. It's not associated with any particular software pkg. But I
don't want to distract you from organizing our current admin and user
manuals, which I agree should be your top priority.

I think I might take developers reference, as if I didn't have enough
to do.
