Kunaal,
Thanks for reaching out to me directly, I missed your original email.
I'm going to paste over your follow-up questions and reply to them
here for the benefit of all.
First, let me point to the docs strategy proposal I just posted:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-docs/2015-March/005593.html
That proposal is part of what prompted me to generate this GSoC idea.

Mainly correct. I'm not sure that we need a central place, it's mainly
that I think we can take advantage of the popularity and low barriers
that GitHub presents, without tying ourselves to GitHub as "the solution."

Look at the above strategy proposal as a starting place. I think you
should join the centos-docs mailing list, too. I'm fine right now with
discussing there and on centos-devel, the goal being to get our
discussions in front of the people using and affected by these tools.

You have the right idea!
I know I didn't provide all your answers here, but I think what I
wrote in the proposal on centos-docs will spark more ideas, so let's
start with that discussion and keep moving.
Thanks - Karsten
