This outlines how to propose a change to dte-rate-comparison.
You can fix typos, spelling mistakes, or grammatical errors in the documentation directly using the GitHub web interface, as long as the changes are made in the source file.
If you want to make a bigger change, it's a good idea to first file an issue. If you've found a bug, please file an issue that illustrates the bug with a minimal reprex (this will also help you write a unit test, if needed).
