That'd be great!

This is the right list for general discussion like this.  If one has a
patch for discussion or review, that belongs on gdb-patches.

We haven't made a practice of putting documents in an issue tracker; I
don't think anyone has proposed it.  We just link to the archive, as I
did in the message you replied to.

The GDB documentation is written in texinfo.  When I've written draft
documentation for discussion, I've written it in texinfo, and then
posted the output from 'makeinfo --plaintext' for review and
discussion.  But if it's not intended to go into a manual, then plain
text is what we usually use.
