With such a low number of request, that easily sustainable, sure. However, we might want to promote such proofreading more widely so better know in advance if there's enough manpower to do it. For that reason, I have actually subscribed to the list. Even though I'm not a native English speaker and indeed not a good speaker at all, I can probably bring some help. After all, when it comes at D-I, I often try acting as a reviewer, mostly for overall writing style consistency. > > Having someone commited to animate it would be great, also.

Patches welcomed.. I'm afraid we probably cannot turn the recommendations made in DevRef into requirement by the policy because it is not very easy to turn writing style into hard rules....but experience proves that at least recommendations help improving things.
