Both things can be true: the OP made a good PR to document something and the formatting of it wasn't up to the team's standard.
I guess we all need to take Mr HH and The Rails Foundation at their word:
* Rails is Mr HH, not anyone else, per his blog post
* Foundation doesn't want community involvement, they "will commission freelancers and firms to work on better written documentation”
It's a damn shame they decided not to work with the community and engage them.
