I'd like to try libripgrep out in one my projects, maybe I could also take on the challenge of attempting to document it.

So, a lot of it is actually written already. :-) https://github.com/BurntSushi/blog/blob/ag/libripgrep/conten... (The formatting is FUBAR, so you'll want to look at the raw text.)

There's just a lot of polish that needs to be done, and converting portions of it appropriate API documentation. Unfortunately, I don't really have the bandwidth to mentor this at the moment. :-( However, with that said, one super useful thing you could do is try out libripgrep and then give feedback[1] on how it worked for you, and in particular, which things were hard to figure out.
