Not only can anyone submit an article to MacTutor, but anyone can get
one printed ;-).

Seriously, Dave Smith told me a while back that in four years of
operation, he had rejected only one article, and he believed that
he would eventually publish everything else, although some of it would
take a long time.

MacTutor needs a technical review board, perhaps?  Given that many
articles languish for months before being printed, there seems to be
plenty of time for such a process.  And while they're at it, they
might want to start using a spelling checker or even using a human
proofreader.
