I think that I need to clarify about the purpose of my "analysis" (I
know that data is not very conclusive, but that all we got).

I was looking into the idea that we can get more help from Emacs
contributors if we switch the format back from .org to .texi.
(Mostly, out of curiosity; and because it was hanging in my TODO list)

According to the above, I do not see that we can achieve such goal:

1. Absolute number of contributions to Org manual was never large (not
   by Org-only contrubutors)

2. Relative numbers, although hard to compare, also do not indicate that
   the switch would be helpful in any way.

Having said that, RMS officially asked Org team to work towards allowing
Org to become the new GNU documentation standard.
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87bkqx4jyg.fsf@localhost/
So, the above idea was rather theoretical. Unless we disregard RMS
request, Org manual will be a good reference template to explore
real-life caveats of using .org as the true documentation source.
