If it doesn't have to be too slick, I think you could write relatively
simple cgi to do it, depending on what you mean by "document".
Also, with a small collection of doc text pages and a few occasional
user/reviewers you could get away with something that wouldn't scale
to a massive online catalog with graphics layout and thousands of reviewers.

I've thought it would be nice to have something like that for collaborating
on documentation and/or maybe PEPs.

What kind of docs are you dealing with?
