I believe a better solution would to use a github clone such as gitlab, which sits on top of the git repo, and allows for custom code around the BIP process. Potentially one could even build Bitcoin into such a BIP system. If somebody wants to support a BIP he donates Bitcoins to that proposal. Somebody who actually implements the BIP can receive some percent of the bounty, while some percentage goes to the Bitcoin foundation. Via such a platform one could create assurance contracts to kickstart BIP developments or Bitcoin extensions (public infrastructure which is not part of the core, such as opensourced exchanges).

Probably wouldn't hurt, but it'd likely need a rewrite in a more modular and
formal form.

Since it's the same format, I'd keep it up there, maybe with a link to the git
repo on the main BIP index wiki page.

It's a hardforking protocol change, so IMO yes.
