I think it would be wrong to dictate a volunteer's choice of tools.
Also, there's a lot more "happening" with DocBook XML, than with
TeXinfo. DocBook XML is a great master source to generate other
formats from. Not because it's XML. That's coincidental. But
because it aims towards semantic markup, rather than visual markup.
But I agree the DocBook XML source for the FAQ should be in CVS,
perferrably with synchronized checkins of the generated TeXinfo file
(never check in one and not the other).
