IMHO it is better to have a single commit fixing 20 typos than 20
commits fixing one typo.

How can we understand when a decision is made?  I had an impression
(perhaps wrong) that people are not going to discuss it.  Anyway if we
decide that there is a better choice for list markers, we can easily fix
it by replacing "  •" with "-" for example.  But I agree with you that
it (and any other convention) should be documented.
