improved sentence flow & gender neutrality 4 futur

I wasn't sure about this; the last sentence that is. It seemed a little superfluous, especially given the reference to current time. What is the current time? When the commit was made? Ofcourse, I dare not completely erase it, so I worded it to improve flow. "Especially" does sound a lot better. Is the author trying to say that during times of relatively low volume, editors may pass judgements? or that they may take on additional responsibilities?
