I would suggest "any text". It's clearer, and what is a list of text anyway?
Lint Screen by adding, modifying, or removing an item with Consent.

I think you mean pender.
I have two concerns about this proposal.
1. Complexity. This proposal would make pending a proposal more
complicated, probably discouraging proposals. Getting another player
to look over a proposal is just a pain, especially for minor fix
proposals.
2. Promotorial headache. I don't object to tracking the lint screen,
that's easy (note that it would probably be in a separate report). I
object to having to track the public statements of linting. Frankly,
it sounds unnecessarily complicated. You could fix this by making it a
SHALL NOT, but that just makes it the referee's problem (although e
cannot generally be carded for not carding someone).
Solution to both problems:
{{ It is IMPOSSIBLE to pend a proposal unless the pender states, in
same message e pends the proposal in, that e has reviewed (“linted”)
the proposal for the issues listed in the Lint Screen.}}
This means that there's essentially no extra work for me to do, while
the pender merely has to look over it emself, not persuade someone
else to do it. Note that if someone doesn't satisfactorily lint the
proposals e pends enough times, e can be carded for lying (as soon as
Truthfulness passes anyway).
