Yes, I was thinking of using GitHub edition instead of the wiki for 
little changes. The good thing, as Ralf points out, is that you can add 
new commits.

Are there any numbers of editions submitted through the wiki lately? 
Because if people is not using it anyway, that system could be dropped 
in favor of GitHub. I don't think Edit + solving PR is more difficult 
than the wiki.
