As a guide(s) I've (we've) mentioned this specific helpful task to
newcomers.  However, reviewing documents is sort of "boring" task to
many I'm sure.  What I've (we've?) failed to do is also state "and by
doing this your name will be put in the acknowledgements section", which
honestly might help motivate some.  Maybe.
