You have my vote
About the perimeter of this role: couldn't we consider that it's part
of "documentation" to work on the terms and vocabularies used in
Koha's interfaces themselves? Would you consider tackling that type of
problems too (inconsistencies in the use of certain terms, etc.)? Or
do you think it's too far from what "documentation" should be?
