To my knowledge there is no such document; at least there's nothing in the web-wiki repo[1]. However, upgrading DokuWiki installations is usually rather painless.[2] The main issues would be code modifications and evetual changes to the DokuWiki API. Anyhow, further discussion on this topic might better be done on webmaster@; perhaps my mail "Maintenability of the Wiki implementation"[3] is a good starting point.
