Is there some way we could step that up? E.g., perhaps start by reminding people who commit code changes but not changes to the corresponding documentation that they need to do the documenation ASAP. Eventually, we could defer or even revert changes until they're documented. The idea would be to change the culture of coding-without-documenting.
