All very true, but practically speaking this has to be decided at the
project level, and accompanied by a no-push-without-required-docs
policy. It's quite possible that this policy once explicitly decided
will require essentially zero enforcement (part of the problem is that
there's probably much less than 100% awareness of the less-interesting
tasks), but you need to be prepared to enforce by demanding docs, and
if necessary reverting doc-less patches.
Of course there's no reason to require that *patch authors* write
docs, 3rd parties can do that just as well.
