That's not the case. I have written from scratch documentation for 
projects where none or almost nothing existed before. You just need to 
know the questions, users usually ask and then interact with the 
developers to try and answer them. Over a few revisions and reviews, you 
can get it right without having to know much if anything to get started.

Admittedly, for something like NetworkManager, it would be a significant 
amount of time but if there is a real need, someone should step up and 
do it.
