To make some forward progress here, I think a good starting point would be
to enable GitHub issues on the doc-* repos to get some usage experience in
a more limited setting. Docs issues probably benefit more from being hosted
on GitHub than php-src issues, as this is an area where 3rd-party
contributors can easily pick up issues they can address.

If all goes well, we can disable submission of "Documentation Problem" bugs
in bugsnet and consider how to move forward with php-src.
