forgot to say I applaud to this initiative, thank you for tackling this and documenting the process. I agree that there are many cases that can be fixed automatically, and your list shows good examples, but of course we must be very careful to not iron everything flat when there might be subtle differences. This is why it is important to have many eyes on such bot edits and document the details.
