Right, the AS migration guide contains a section about the migration. This was 
recently added:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/How+do+I+migrate+my+application+from+AS5+or+AS6+to+AS7#HowdoImigratemyapplicationfromAS5orAS6toAS7-MigratetoHibernate4Validator

Other than that, there is of course https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HibernateValidatorMigrationGuide
It does not contain an upgrade section from 3.x to 4.x , but a link to the AS 7 community docs.

If you feel for it go ahead. Personally I think adding some more information to 
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HibernateValidatorMigrationGuide is sufficient.
