With all due respect to your much needed, and welcome work I don't
think we should be discouraging committers from adding to the
documentation. I think Sheldon does a good job of fixing plus teaching
how to do it better when reviewing mdoc commits, I would encourage you
to adopt that model, rather than suggesting pre-commit review. That way
we have a broader base of people with some mdoc knowledge who can do
basic improvements on their own.
One of the key elements in any volunteer organization is to always be
teaching the next generation. The more complex and anachronistic the
skill (like mdoc) the more important it is to pass that knowledge along.
