Trouble is, the people with the questions do not usually consider
themselves authoritative enough to send in a patch, since they
feel (possibly correctly!) that they do not know the system
well enough to be aware of implications of what on the face of
it might be a simple 'correction'.

In which case, those who *are* authoritative may, if they have the
time and inclination, pick up on the issue and make the correction!

But I would submit patches if I felt sufficiently knowledgeable
in the relevant area of code.
