This is probably what you want: https://www.coreboot.org/
Intel_Management_Engine

Just ask the usual suspects for wiki edit permissions (Stefan, Patrick,
Martin, etc).

You guys should also look in to AMD's PSP, it is on AMD's newer stuff 
including the AM4 "Zen" and FM2+

Feel free to push the docs into coreboot's git repo, Documentation/$something.

That should be the easiest way to provide self-service editing
(without every contributor having to ask for a wiki account. Gerrit
knows a bunch of oauth providers and also has OpenID support), and
there's a project underway to publish formatted versions of markdown
files within that tree on the coreboot.org website.
