Fred, I have given my point of view about not maintaining the typo. She is aware about the points to take care of since the first email. I just add the times/files as statistics.
And I think if we focus on fixing it and having talks around the technical debt, we can try to close it as much as possible while being clear about functional and nonfunctional changes. This list is an open and multidirectional communication channel for transparency and also your feedback is valuable in the Fineract JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2206 for adding comments.
