Well, I'm one.  As far as I can tell, while a 'gwiki' could be desirable, you 
can come close with minor modifications to MediaWiki.  Explicit revision 
numbers are unnecessary; every page's history is tracked, and adding something 
like

{{rule|12.34|Stupid Rule}}

that would output

== Rule 12.34/16: Stupid Rule ==

would take very little modification to the code.  Showing the current version 
of all rules?  Go to a Special: page that would concatenate everything in 
that category (since, of course, templates can add things to categories 
already), in order (and changing the nesting level of the headings).  Show 
all modifications to a proposal?  History page.  Find all rules whose 
timestamp falls during nweek 210?  Recent changes.  If you want to actually 
search for an nweek, create a Clock special page that would log changes to 
it, and another one that would find the range of real time within which any 
nweek occurred.  Automatically assigning properties i.e. you could do 
{{newrule|Stupid Rule}} is a second thing that, AFAIK, would require direct 
modification of the code (rather than a special page), but not very much.
