This is certainly not for haskell at haskell.org. I am answering to 
haskell-cafe and cabal-devel.

I assume that it is not a good idea to install many additional packages on 
the Haskell server. Thus I think the best you can do is to upload the 
documentation yourself via the package maintenance site.

Here is a script that should help creating the docs locally and upload 
them to Hackage:
