I think the "modded up" part is true of non-typographical corrections that would now be marked verified: it would help if we didn't have to see them until they rose above a certain level of support. But for basic typos, if we had an RFC editor trolling the errata stream, I think that process could be short-circuited, and if we had a good way to present the corrected text, I think it would be worth doing.
