I strongly encourage people who find problems in the wiki to edit them.
I believe that the only requirement is a GitHub account; we rely on
GitHub's abuse-detection, rather than locking things down more tightly.

On the off-chance that someone here protests needing Yet Another Account
somewhere: these days, having a GitHub account is becoming almost
obligatory for anyone who touches code, whether as a programmer or
sysadmin; a lot of places are looking first at a job applicant's GitHub
profile to see what they've done: building up a decent portfolio does
not go amiss. Better a GitHub account than one specific to Exim's wiki.

Comments are better than nothing. :)

ACL variables are useful things.
