I understand that YOU could do any updates. It is the policy from SUSE to
only do updates. The reason has been explained before.

Is it a security issue? If so, it should be reported via Bugzilla, if not,
it might not be importand enough to be done.

YOU can indeed do it. It is the policy of SUSE only to do security
updates.

The two are inter connected. If you have an idea, you also need the method
to do the updates.

Bugzilla is great for this.

Again, SUSE does security updates, not spellingcorrectionupdates.

Sure, it is a wiki. You could make it yourself easy and just say that only
security updates are done and spelling errors are not done.

So again I ask you, say you have found a spellingserror, how would that
get to me, a user, when you know it won't be done by YOU?
