a written convention, so someone who is bad at english can change grammer of
english text?
do you also want a written convention so you can change tibetan from 3rd
person to impersonal form?

and about review man power, this change is completely unneeded bikeshed
its not "ohh my god we need this critical fix in there lets skip review"
above all the comments must be correct their style is secondary if not
further down the list.
its rather that previously it was 3rd person is preferred now natives
prefer 1st next year its second then we change all doxy to swedish 

also theres the thing that controversal changes should be discussed first
and one should not knowingly step on other developers toes when commiting.
