I was thinking more along the lines of blog comments or forum posts, I think currently the blog allows anonymous posting which shouldn't be a problem but if ever any part of the site requires creating an account for end-users then we should give it a thought before choosing a solution.

Back to your question:
Do we need User roles?

If the site will ever be supporting user generated content through then

permissions should suffice.

I'm a little confused by the definition of "user generated content". Are we referring to things like blog posts and tutorials?

If so, then I think a static site generator + git still works. The author would just need to create a patch (using git format-patch) and then email it to this list. Someone with commit access to the www repo could then apply the patch and then a post-commit hook could regenerate the web site.

Granted, you would need some degree of technical savvy to do that, but not much more than it would take to clone the repo in the first place.
