Can somebody who is relatively (but not extremely) new to git can volunteer to be a documentation secretary to collect these "Hear, hear,= it would have been very helpful if X were documented next to Y" stories, a= nd coordinate documentation updates after enough such improvement suggesti= ons are collected? People who lost git virginity like myself cannot do this sensibly and fairly. For example, as my mind is already contaminated enough that I discarded the original "add this as Discussion item to revert" message after reading it once, judging it to add extra noise without much merit= =2E
