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.
