Submission credits shouldn't be noted in the Credits lump in the wad itself. I think it's more of a book-keeping thing for the Repository itself; I don't think any modders really care who put it on the Repository, and it's nowhere near as important as who coded or sprited the thing.
No longer require 256-color paletted PNG. I think a chunk of submissions use truecolor PNG anyway, and it's just a limit that doesn't really need to exist anymore. Of course, I'd still keep the overall PNG requirement for ease-of-use swapping between the different games, and Slade 3 can easily convert to PNG anyway.
Take "Palette" out of info for all sections. I don't think it's really necessary, at this point. Made a lot more sense before we required that graphics be PNG.
In all sections, change "Decorate" credits to "Code" credits. This one's a no-brainer; not all code is Decorate anymore.
Change "Added States" info to "Added States/Functions."...
In Item Store info, specify that if an item lasts for the entire map (a la Berserk), it should say map, but if it lasts forever (a la Backpack) it should say infinite.
Take "Documentation" out of info for the SFX Shoppe, and require documentation for how to use it.
In the rules for ACS, we say "include a copy of the script(s) in the INFO lump." We should just require that all the scripts be in their own lump separate from everything else.
I'd also suggest a new category for the Armory, for more real-life kind of weapons. If you click on Doom-style, these days, you end up with a lot of weapons that don't really fit in well with Doom's own weapon line up. In general, I think the categories are a bit of a mess right now, but overall the rest of that is a discussion for another time.

I'd be open to keeping some documentation info on the SFX Shoppe, but mostly because I'm peculiar like that. Requiring documentation in the submission sounds great.

I think what he meant is to remove the documentation entry from the INFO lump/Info tab and make documentation a requirement as opposed to being optional.
On a side note, do we want to have a specific category for Strife?

And like I said before, if someone puts forth the effort in preparing a valid submission that gets accepted, I say we might as well credit the effort.
