Narrowing the opening post, because the general version has more than one answer.

New maintainer recruitment: if a page's maintainer is inactive and updates are needed, suggesting a new maintainer here can help transition responsibility.

I have kept the units in throughout, for the obvious reason.

The opening post put the caveat in the right place and I want to underline it.

Revision disputes: if you disagree with an edit a maintainer made to a page, discuss it here. The goal is accuracy and clarity, not authorship.

Not the answer, but possibly the question that gets there.

That is the distinction I keep failing to hold on to. Written down now.

Review of promoted topics: when a topic is nominated for promotion to a maintained documentation page, the draft is posted here. Community review happens before promotion. Objections are welcome.

Where I part company with post #3, and it is a narrow parting.

Point three stops most nominations. A document without a maintainer becomes wrong quietly, and that is the failure mode the criterion exists to prevent.
