Is there end grain at the bottom?
i.e. Is it made from a series of vertical lengths of timber?
See can you wrap a thin sheet of aluminium under the door (where youd never get a paint brush) to stop water splashing up into the end grain - let it run about 200mm up each side of the door then.

Keep the rest of it painted.

You can scrape the rotting wood away and use Ronseal Wet Rot Hardener, after that use Ronseal 2pack Wood Filler. Then you can paint or stain the door.
