There are are a couple of key words in the above -- *ALL* and "description".
I said "Not sure I've enough Debian experience to be much help reviewing _all_ package descriptions" for a specific reason. My reading of SmithReviewProject was the reviewer would rewrite the defective text. To mix metaphors a bit, I could be the "canary in a coal mine" but not the copy editor bringing a coherent newspaper out of contributions of multiple journalists.
As to "description", to which description are we referring? The one appearing on http://packages.debian.org/... or http://manpages.debian.net/... ? In my opinion they serve different purposes/audiences.
