In my mind, I thought of this as part of the editor role. However, that might be asking too many skills of an editor - grammar/writing and technical review. There is some value in having it be a separate role. Since one person can fill many roles, we may find that our writing/style editors at the start are also technical editors, and that new editors choose to do one or the other role or both. The key in that process which might not have been obvious is -- it's all about writers and editors. Everything from acceptance as in-progress for Fedora docs to publication on fedora.redhat.com needs to be an agreement between the author(s) and the editor(s).
