Are you hinting that some of what I wrote (with typofixes like s/arond/around/) should be inserted to SubmittingPatches or somewhere near it? I am still scratching my head why "celebrities" were brought into the original question in the first place, but I can say that we do not discriminate against "celebrities" who review patches with prejudice like "that lady only plays a hacker on TV, and must know nothing to qualify to review our patches." Celebrities or not, once somebody demonstrates enough competence and earns reputation on this list, opinions by that person would count more than others.
