IMHO, the fix (i.e. "Lodge a Request") is even more trivial than the

I am not a native english speaker and have never heard of the word lodge
as a verb before.
Following the argumentation that every written expression must be possibly
put in a correct english sentence, the whole table would have to be changed
to:
_The_ Package Actions
View _the_ PKGBUILD / View _any_ Changes
Download _the_ snapshot
Search _for_this_package_in_the_ wiki

File _a_ Request

No, only the confusing ones should be changed. I thought this would've
been pretty obvious.

I don't see the point in all of that. We just need to change "File
Request" to "Lodge a Request" (or similar).
It was intended as a reductio ad absurdum. I assumed a statement to be
true and proved its absurdity.
Furthermore, all these expressions are actions, constituted by the verb
of the action and a noun - the respective object.
Accordingly the meaning of the discussed statement should be obvious in
the context.
If not, as it has been said before, I can't imagine somebody sending a
deletion request with the serious intention to request a file.
If somebody though does so, we can in almost all cases not expect him to
be able to follow or have followed the Installation- or Beginner's Guide.
