Not sure I've enough Debian experience to be much help reviewing

Lack of Debian experience might prove quite useful for the review, since
the description is meant for potential users of the package, not for
people already familiar with it ;)
There are are a couple of key words in the above -- *ALL*
and "description".
I said "Not sure I've enough Debian experience to be much
help reviewing _all_ package descriptions" for a specific
reason. My reading of SmithReviewProject was the reviewer
would rewrite the defective text. To mix metaphors a bit, I
could be the "canary in a coal mine" but not the copy editor
bringing a coherent newspaper out of contributions of
multiple journalists.
As to "description", to which description are we referring?
The one appearing on http://packages.debian.org/... or
http://manpages.debian.net/... ? In my opinion they serve
different purposes/audiences.
