Rafal, do you know how many aspects POV-Ray source code solves ? How many new
things can be introduced with patches ? And how often they are introduced ?
For example I'm implementing MPEG2 reading into POV. How often new input
format is introduced ? Who would like to write turorial just for me ? Things
are usually implemented once - isosurfaces, motion blur, sphere_sweep, etc.
Nobody have time to spend time to write turorials about such complicated
things becouse it is better to use this time. It is different thing to write
good comments nad theoretical explanation. But that is not a tutorial about
writing patch. Of course there are some common operations when patch is
created like adding keywords to parser. But such tutorials exist.

Docbook was recently suggested. I'm personally consider such solution.

Please show me serious project with _official_ releases every two weeks.
