Well, me to. But my feeling is the patch received entirely insufficient
amount of thorough code review, considering how important part of the
code it touches. I agree docs are an important part of a patch, but
polishing user-level docs would hardly move the patch closer to being
committable (especially when there's ~50kB of READMEs).
