I find it interesting that you would characterize your statements as "constructive" and the responses you've received as "attacks"
I believe this may be one of the central issues
Why do you consider my opinion that the documentation is bad, and that it should be maintained by the developers interesting?

Its not your opinion on the documentation that i find interesting, its how you characterize your dislike for the documentation (and repeated expression of it)
In my opinion, if you are able to use an application you are able to document how you use it. I am not a C developer however i have contributed to the documentation, and i believe it is with this type of action that Open Source communities become strong (contribution). Having someone constantly express what they don't like about the project yet do little else to effect change in it serves no positive or productive purpose
OpenSER is an excellent application and i am proud to be a part of its community. A community that responds to impatience and contempt with patience and wisdom Please help us keep this community healthy because in the end it benefits us all (in more ways that i can count)
Demanding that others solve perceived issues is generally not a good approach (unless you are dealing with a commercial entity and has a professional responsibility to you)
