Well, yes and no. If your ruleset is a mess without comments, it 
probably will not be reviewed. If it is large, make doubly sure it is 
readable. Otherwise, as long as such requests don't swamp the list 
(which they don't) it's fine with me (others may disagree).

As an added bonus, discussing rulesets may give all mailinglist 
participants additional insights on how to set up rulesets, so I welcome 
such reviews once in a while.

HTH,
