No, we do not (yet).

Meanwhile, I am equally puzzled why you want to work in an entirely
different way than the developers. :-)

If the documentation that you are working on is already included in packages
in Ubuntu, we would be glad to accept patches from you.  Where it is not
already packaged (such as for documents that you create from scratch), it
will need to be packaged anyway (I assume you have at least one person on
the team who can do this), and can be handled through the same processes.

Arch will come, and it will make our lives much easier when it does, but it
just isn't ready yet.
