Well, that's a different codebase from pgweb. pgweb deals with the
website itself; the docs are produced from SGML source found in the core
Postgres source. You can probably check out git.postgresql.org to get
this source, edit it (see the doc/src/sgml directory), and use GIT to
build a patch and mail it to the pgsql-docs list.

(You could also use CVS if you feel so inclined, but it probably does
not have any benefit over GIT).

Note that pgsql-www is not involved anywhere in this task :-)
