Automated error checking is just a hint, useful if you're interested, but very annoying if it is pushed at you. People volunteer their time and the reason they do so is very varied. They may not be interested in fixing these 'errors'.

If you want people to opt in to receive these emails then they can simply visit the Keep Right site with no real need to hassle people with emails.
