Thank you for your suggestions, we're always looking for ways to make
contributing to Banshee easier.

The banshee.fm website is a WordPress instance, the data is stored in
a MySQL database. So putting the site content under source control is
not really feasible right now.
Were you thinking about specific changes to the web site ?

If there's a need for some collaborative editing, I think this can
happen on the GNOME wiki, like David has been doing :
http://live.gnome.org/Banshee

If by "user guide", you mean the user help available in Banshee
through the Help > Contents menu, it is already part of the banshee
main git repository :
http://git.gnome.org/browse/banshee/tree/help/C
