My proposal was for docs-only patches not code contributions with docs.
Obviously we want a high bar for code contributions.  This is part of the
reason we have the DocImpact flag (for folks that don't feel comfortable
writing documentation because perhaps of ESL, or other reasons).

We already have a way to decouple code from docs with DocImpact.
