digitalmars.D - D language/grammar documentation

I'm working on extracting a machine usable grammar from the D 
documentation. At this point I have a sed script that works for the most 
part. However in doing this I have run across a number of minor errors 
in the documentation. Things like inconsistent formatting, non-terminals 
being spelled differently in different places and two non-terminals 
having the same name. I have been fixing these in my local copy of the 
ddoc source and am wondering if I could get the fixes pushed back into 
the dsource repository? I also have a small number of others changes 
(for example there is a cases where the binding of an optional attribute 
is ill defined from a machine's point of view) but these should be 
review before they go in.

So, Walter, am I likely to see these changes added? What should I do to 
help get them added?

I'd like to think that creating a new issue in the issue tracking system would
work, but grammar-related issues don't seem to get much of a response from
Walter:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1466
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1905
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=949

Maybe he'd respond if a patch were offered? I don't know.
