If it' a module/theme I'm maintaining, I like to know what the "official" 
description of it reads.  99% of the time that's because I wrote it.  If 
someone from the docs team feels that it could be improved (grammar 
correction, adding a link, etc.), I'm fine with that as long as I know about 
it.  Larger changes (changing the description of functionality, for instance) 
I'd prefer to know about before hand, since as maintainer that is more my 
responsibility to handle.  I am, of course, always open to suggestions in 
that vein.  

It's not really a power thing; it's more an accountability thing.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
