I can see from the git documentation that there is more than one workflow option for distributed users with commit permissions to manage changes. Does the Docs Project have a preferred workflow or is it best to contact the lead for each guide to find out how they would like to receive changes?

Good question! It is generally a good idea to check in with guide owners. If the change is small and apparent, like with the docdirs thing or minor bugs, there's more room for initiative. If the change is comprehensive, coordination will be more important.
We should probably add some guidelines to the Documentation Guide along these lines. The situation can vary with the guide an circumstances. The Sysadmin Guide owner generally welcomes direct contributions, but they are working on pulling in content from other sources and splitting networking stuff into a Networking Guide. The multiboot guide is in initial development, so a free-for-all at the moment. Anything cited in a guide's wishlist - which I'm reminding myself again to add to the guide table - is probably fair game.
So the general suggestion is to use your judgement, and ask via list, bz, or irc when in doubt. If a guide owner has more specific preferences, we should probably put them in the wishlists.
