Suggest instead:
test suite: Ensure file descriptors are closed in a timely manner, using
context managers.
I.e.:
- Use "$area: $description" format
- Fix ungrammatical use of "close"
(alternative: "Ensure timely closure of file descriptors")
And since I'm reviewing already, a few more nits:

Consider dropping the symbolic name (RLIMIT_NOFILE) into that sentence
somewhere.

No comments on the diff itself, but I only skimmed it.
