This just made me realize that I'm abusing the term 'process documentation' and similar verbiage; my opinion is that finalized "how to do the thing" stuff should go outside the wiki, and "how doing it is progressing for this time" stays in.  Again, no changes expected here until there is an alternative to offer.

For all things listed, it's most important that they be available in whatever way the people working on them prefer.  If QA wants commonbugs as is, that's fine.  If they want to explore other options later on, that's fine too.  It would even be possible to use the commonbugs wiki page as the source for a page on the docs site, with automatic updates (as an example)
