I avoid as much work as possible by simply copypasting. I avoid verbalizing questions/answers myself as doing so tends to affect a FAQ to become the maintainer’s toy hobby to the extend of getting angry if anyone only touches it… To get the questions/answers, I don’t monitor the forum, but after a few months I dig back through it until the moment in time the FAQ was edited latest. I don’t read all that stuff written in the meantime. Instead, I only skim threads that likely have questions/answers inside. I read the thread and pick only questions, and answers to these questions, I omit side-issues (“noise”). This applies especially for only temporarily valid data or not confirmed guesses.
