In most cases, we have an associated JIRA for a new feature or a major bug
fix.  How about we designate the JIRA as resolved only after the related
documentation is in place?  Many a time we verify the code before closing
the JIRA.  It shouldn't be hard adding a wiki page with a small write up on
how to use that feature or any work around provided.  It can be a detailed
document or an entry in an FAQ.  This will also help in coming up with
comprehensive docs after a release.
