Team docs: open editing or named owner?

Whether shared docs should prioritize open editing or named ownership for freshness and trust.

Shared docs need both easy editing and clear responsibility. If every edit needs an owner approval, docs become slow. If nobody owns the page, old instructions stay around and readers do not know what to trust. A workable split may be open contribution plus named maintenance owner. For operational docs like handoff rules, onboarding, escalation, and meeting norms, where do you draw the line?
