Thanks for the explanation marcus.

Can we get that list submitted as a PR, with clear instructions on the
fix procedure? Maybe even an example fix to help motivate

I think this is a perfect opportunity to share the load, and I'll put my
hand up to help.

Some clarity/confirmation included in the PR for the following would
also be great:

- Can these be fixed *now* or is there something that needs to be done
first?
- What is the definition of 'proper' as you use it here?
