In my mind, I thought of this as part of the editor role.  However, that
might be asking too many skills of an editor - grammar/writing and
technical review.  There is some value in having it be a separate role.

Since one person can fill many roles, we may find that our writing/style
editors at the start are also technical editors, and that new editors
choose to do one or the other role or both.

The key in that process which might not have been obvious is -- it's all
about writers and editors.  Everything from acceptance as in-progress
for Fedora docs to publication on fedora.redhat.com needs to be an
agreement between the author(s) and the editor(s).

Which reminds me, I need to find someone to edit the FC2 SELinux FAQ
before it can go live ...
