Because its you who can download it and use it as local resource.
That in turn could make people contribute little bit more because
*editing in vim* is that easy :)

And no, I'm not talking about reinventing the wheel,
it does already exist:

solution 1: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gitit
solution 2: Vim help file syntax
solution 3: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2226

Why not mediawiki? Because sending patches requires "logging in"
Because you can't use Vim for editing (I know that there are plugins
which come close - but - we just *love* Vim, don't we?)
