Generally the R Core group is collectively in charge of documentation.

In practice, the person who last worked on a help page is the one who
is most likely to make more changes to it. You can find this out from
the CVS log.  

You can normally see a webified version of the log online, but I seem
to have misplaced the URL, and developer.r-project.org is offline.
