Well, I also have two merge proposals open:
https://code.launchpad.net/~frank-heimes/installation-guide/

Any idea whom to contact to get these reviewed and for sure ideally also
accepted?

If things have settled down a bit after 18.04 GA I want to spent even more
time and effort on it ...

(I also wrote down some steps on howto work with on the inst guide for
myself - we may think about posting that to a wiki page - like there is one
for the server guide ?! Just an idea ...)

Bye, Frank
