I like your list of blacklisted words!

I wonder how well this works. Word blacklists tend to be very crude tools.

For example, how often must people actively spend effort working around all the blocked past tense forms? How do you express that something used to work differently in a previous version under these restrictions?

"Remember that everything in this guide is a guideline, not a draconian rule."

The context makes it clear that it is future tense which should be avoided when describing system behavior.

Our docs are on github. We enabled Travis CI checks and all commits are now automatically validated with the default and custom markdownlint rules. If the linter finds errors, the committer receives a warning to Rocket chat with a link to Travis CI status page containing errors as well as suggestions on how to fix them.

I like the idea of CI to enforce it :) I'm tempted; I wonder what the GP uses for that.

We use Travis CI for checks as well as github and travis webhooks to deliver warnings to specific committers who need to fix the errors in a particular PR. Scheduled Travis CI checks send alerts to the general channel if the master branch starts failing.
