I agree, this could be a very useful feature. See also the discussion in [Suggested Edits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/suggested-edits/1762).

> It’s obviously not as important here as on Stack Exchange, but Discourse could also benefit from “suggested edits” feature that allows users to suggest edits to other’s posts at a lower trust level than is required to edit directly. This would reduce noise that could otherwise be caused by users pointing out typos and other minor mistakes in posts.
