Hi Petr,
Thanks so much for the information! Looks like the wikiedit group is
what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I'm now under contract with a
new employer that makes it unclear whether I can contribute to the
contributor docs, but I'll check back once this contract ends (end of
June).

Hi Matt,
Our contributor docs aren't really up to date at all. We're aware of the
mess, it should hopefully change in the near future, but right now it's
really bad as you found out.
I added the missing link to the common bugs page, thanks for reporting it.
Regarding wiki edit rights for any future contributions you might want
to make: the requirement for a non-CLA group membership is unfortunate
but it's here to stay, and yes, the docs group (and this list) seems
like a good place to ask questions. The problem is, we just cleaned up
the group maybe a month ago and removed something like 80% of all
members because they were no longer active at all, and going forward
we'd like to be able to rely on the people in that group being somewhat
active, so I'm wary of adding people who state upfront they don't want
to do that, although I do understand your situation.
Anyway: there is a group called "wikiedit", a membership in that will
give you wiki edit rights without any expectation of active
participation, as far as I'm aware. Open an issue against the
fedora-infrastructure repo on Pagure to gain access. Here's an example
of such a ticket:
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/6841
Hope that helps; let me know if I can do anything else for you.
