Made some edits.

I don't think the following are clear and need to better understand to edit.

20- If you fix something for GitLab.com or one of our users, make sure that your solution becomes the default (preferred) method and radiate the information in the docs. We should run GitLab.com with the default settings and setup our users would also have.

26-We're a distributed company where people work remotely without missing out, prefer communication in public issues and chat channels and ensure conclusions of offline conversations are written down.
