Feedback?
My main suggestion would be to have used the unabbreviated version of "CU" the first time it was mentioned in your proposal. I'm a veteran editor and it still took me a couple of read-throughs and a visit to Wikipedia before I knew what the heck you were talking about. "WP:CU" redirects to "Wikipedia:Cleanup", for an added dose of confusion. :)
I noticed that a little too late; I apologize for anyone's confusion.
I broke one of the cardinal rules of tech writing (explain the acronym once), which if my wife were on the list would get me in trouble at home. She has been trying to get me to avoid that goof for years.
The next "pre-draft" revision will expand the acronym on first use.
