Not that I know of; that would reqire a full-blown CMS engine.
I'll do some research, but I'm skeptic.

It's probably also overkill: the current policy (write-access requires
easily-given approval), together with the wiki's versioning capabilities
(to roll back unapproved changes) and page change monitoring, should be
adequate already.
We could promote contributions in the KB pages themselves (i.e. a standard
footer or something like that); maybe that'd help attract help.
