I suggest a slight change of policy.
If a request is accepted, but is in the incorrect format, it should be
put on hold until the submitter adjusts the format. It is in their
interest to reformat.
I say "accepted then reformat" because there's no sense in asking
someone to reformat if it's been rejected.
Of course, I'd also go for "reject the submission if incorrectly
formated". I think shifting the work to those better suited to carry
out the work is a good idea.
Developers are not expected to do a bunch of text formating. It's not
because they can't do it. It's because others can easily do it, thus
freeing up developer time to do developer things.
