Hi

I suspect you'll find moving of packaging guidelines outside the wiki
harder than you think.

Some guideline pages are much more complex under the hood than it may
seem at first sight, with cross-references, transclusion and other
wiki magic.

Also that does not address the gray area of "almost official
guidelines" help pages which are not strict enough of complete enough
yet to be officialised, and need to stay in the wiki while they slowly
mature so people can easily contribute polishing fixes.

Those absolutely need to integrate well with official guidelines and
be able to reference sub-parts of them.

PS
I'll personally object strongly to making guidelines writers shoulder
the burden of converting to CMS syntax. Writing good guidelines is
hard enough without having to take care of the quirks of multiple
document systems.
