"and only occasionally glances [...]" sounds a bit more natural here. Otherwise the "and"s begin to sound a little weird.

Okay. I shall do this.

Please, rephrase this line to be less "You did something quite wrong" to more "It's Ok, you just need to be careful from now on and ask specific questions". Current language might scare newcomers away 😄.

You haven't explained what don't "ask to ask" actually means in a proper way (like describe the specific problem, tell us what you did to solve and didn't worked out, what others might have to do to regenerate the problem) 😉

Why is gitmate not complaining about the commit... it violates our style rules... CC @sils

However, this is my local coala run on this PR ;)

Project wide:

|    | Shortlog of HEAD commit isn't in imperative mood! Bad words are 'Added'

use double quotes around the whole string instead of escaping the single quotes. That way you can keep the single quotes in the string more readable. (this comment applies to all of the instances)
