Welcome to MSE! That's a big, difficult sounding job- if not for software, especially for hardware! Do you have any suggestions on tools or special privileges that people with such a role might need to achieve their purpose? Why do you think there is a need to have dedicated people doing this instead of the community / people already interested in each specific Q&A? Are there specific people you know who are interested in taking up this role, or who are already doing such work with long-term dedication?

@iBugsaysReinstateMonica What does your edit summary "🍎" mean, if anything?

@TheAmplitwist Whenever I find nothing interesting to put in that summary box, I make up a placeholder. Certainly there can be something meaningful, but often I'm in a hurry and consider the edit itself (the diff) is self-explanatory.

@iBugsaysReinstateMonica The system will automatically generate a summary once you're no longer in 'suggested edit' territory. Just leave it blank next time.

Ah, yes... if only we had the services of world-renowned code-tester Mark Twain!

@TheAmplitwist A classic red apple, shown with a stem and single, green leaf on major platforms. Commonly associated with doctors, teachers, and New York. (So guess the last one fits, SE headquarters are in New York as far as I know.)
