I think the most important point would be to have a single
checklist for what should be done.  Two years ago, the CG had at
least three such lists, and I was aware of mistakes in two of
them.  I don't know what's changed sinc then, though.

Having a single list has two advantages: it's an obvious thing to
refer to, and since it focuses attention from both readers and
CG-writers, mistakes should be more obvious (and thus easier to
fix).
