If I'm understanding correctly, the 'how it's done' that you're
looking for is located on the wiki at
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuDesktopGuide>.

The spreadsheet was put in place last cycle because we needed
something up and running right then that could be edited quickly by
multiple people as we scrambled to update all the pages.  There were
no assignments per se. People just jotted their names down next to the
pages they'd reviewed so others would know what pages still needed to
be proofread.

For future cycles (including 14.04), it'd be nice to have people
assigned to specific pages, though. That way someone knows they're
responsible for a certain part of the documentation and can focus on
that area.
