We let people make edits without any checks and 99% of them are good. Occasional offenders gets kicked out (thanks to larrys.) Why does the same not work when we switch to PR? Banning spammers become a lot easier, and problems can be easily reverted. Where is the new need for moderation?

I think we can expect this level of participation to continue after switching from Confluence to Git+PR.
