Hi Josh,

> Description: words words words. Words words
>  words words words. Words words words.

But would this not already be caught by:

Tag: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly
Severity: minor
Certainty: possible
Info: The package synopsis (also known as the "short" description, ie. the
 first line in the package's "Description:" field) either ends with a full
 stop "." character or starts another sentence.
 .
 This is not necessary as the synopsis does not need to be a full
 sentence.  It is recommended that a single descriptive phrase is used
 instead.
 .
 Note also that the synopsis is not part of the rest of the "long"
 Description: field.

If not, having a good corpus of "good" and "bad" examples would be the next
step here :)


Best wishes,
