It isn't; one is typically a janitor, the other a plumber.

Clarity and normative reference issues are often content specific. They
require knowledge of Internet protocols and their interrelationships
(even if the IESG approves the doc doesn't mean the doc is written
clearly in that regard).

General text editing is not content specific.

If you think you can find someone knowledgable enough in the Internet
who wants to burn their time fixing typos, please do. I suspect a
separation of duties will be necessary otherwise.
