We are largely meeting needs other than ourselves though. Volunteer or
not has nothing to do with it.

No. Don't do that. If you don't think anything doesn't make sense, ask
questions. We don't need to blindly respect anything.

I don't think so. Bodhi description fields have been considered
mandatory and filling them has always been a manual task. People just
assumed, everyone would know what to fill it with. That hasn't worked
out very well for us and has been a common question as well in
#fedora-devel. By documenting them, we get that knowledge more easily
preserved.
