I think you're making a false assumption when you say "it ain't glamours (sic)" to be a documentor, and when you say "nor do the developers want to do it." There is massive respect for people who write documentation in the development and user communities, and the developers often just don't have the time or ability to produce the end-results, and will often exchange email furiously with whoever does the documentation to help get it done.
