The -experts list is not necessarily moderated but it is restricted; 
only members of the expert group can subscribe to that list. The 
-observers list is for anyone to subscribe to see what the experts are 
discussing and potentially to have some dialog with other non-experts. 
There is no guarantee that an expert is subscribed to the observer list 
or will see any responses on that list. The -comments list is for 
observers to directly provide feedback/comments to the experts 
(typically a lead will process the comments list and forward things on 
to the experts list).

+ speak other languages as their mother tongue.

"mother tongue" is itself a phrase that may cause confusion to 
non-native English speakers. :) I suggest "native language".

CSR; the
           changeset implementing the fix may be committed to a team forest

by the CSR.

           [Review Bodies](reviewBodies.html).

This text seems quite dated and not fully applicable to the CSR process. 
I would suggest using the same language as used on the CSR wiki. We 
don't have an "acceptance" phase for CSR requests - work typically 
begins in parallel with the CSR request, or often before.  "team forest" 
is a generally out-dated term - I would just say "repository".

Thanks,
David
