> - Makes contributors chase trivialities after substantive work,

When a PR touches `runtime/doc/*.txt` there is a minimum set of rules to
follow, and they are written down. `:help help-writing` says, among other
things, that help files use two spaces after a sentence and that the modeline
sets 'textwidth'. That is where the review comments come from.

If anything, the substantive work being settled is what makes this the right
moment for the small points, as a final pass.

I give the same comments on every doc PR I review, and people act on them.

If anything here is disruptive, it is turning a documentation review into a
statement about the community.
