It's a mystery to me how anybody could interpret this text in any other manner,
but there is no point in being less clear than possible, so LGTM.

A "handler" handles things, i.e. is the person who physically handles something.
 In UPS, if I talk about my "package handler", it is the person who is taking my
package from point A to Z.  They put their "hand" on something, thus handle.

The patch mesiter does everything but handling when doing work like setting tags
from new to review to countdown.

It is a misleading name that should be changed.  I thought I was the patch
handler when reading that document because I am the one handling my patch.

Cheers,
MS

But we are not talking about a "package handler" but rather a "Package Handler".
 If you are _capitalizing_ "Package Handler", it is a title rather than a
description.  The only language I know where capitalization implies anything
than a "proper noun" or a sentence beginning is German.

English is your native language, so I am at a loss that you can't see the
difference between "Patch Handler" and "patch handler".

I am also at a loss how you can consider every patch submitter to be in charge
of handling the entire review process.

Where would that leave the Patch Meister?

At any rate, there is no point in discussing just how it is possible to
misinterpret the text in this manner short of considering its authors to have
been writing under the influence.

If we can make it even more clear, there is no point in not doing so.  Which is
the same as with writing code.
