That's "for", not "to."  Big difference there.  :-)

Seriously, I'm a tech writer/support person, not a programmer.  I
expect -- nay, *require* -- my work be checked by someone with a clue.
Now, I might be wrong, but it's been my experience that FreeBSD
committers are generally expected to know what they're doing.

Also, many of those PRs have gone through several iterations before
-doc beat them into acceptable shape.  You'll notice that none of the
-doc people who actually read my PRs have suggested this.

But I won't argue too much.  I suppose I could post patches for review
as easily as I could use send-pr.  And I'll be happy to blame Will for
the whole thing, as he's bringing it up.  ;-)
