You're right, the possibility of independent help is a point in 
favor of a generated blog.

However, I believe there are some downsides as well. Consider how 
long trivial PRs for the dlang.org and dconf.org sites sit with 
no reviews, e.g. https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1286, 
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1283, 
https://github.com/dlang/dconf.org/pull/112, etc.

On the other hand, this problem can be mitigated (but not 
completely solved) on tumblr because access to tumblr blogs is 
permission based, even though it's a rather simplistic 
implementation. Normal users added via admins can make posts and 
edit them while admins can edit/delete anyone's posts and change 
the styling. There's also guest posts which allow random people 
to submit posts for review and approval and they have no 
permissions what so ever.

I think that if we dole out the admin permissions sparingly to 
competent people, then they can handle typos/quick fixes without 
the slow bureaucracy.
