That was not a good answer. :-(

But for simple things like replacing "don't", you can probably ask directly 
Stephan Binner (binner@kde.org) who does "Style Guide" fixes quite often. 
(And of course there is also Malcolm Hunter and others who take care about 
spelling errors.)

(What I try to mean is that open source development does not mean that all 
problems must go always back to the developer.)
