If you don't agree, well, comment!! I don't think "20%" is a good idea. I don't know how to measure that, and more importantly, it's totally arbitrary anyway. But the way to get a change considered is to submit issues and pull requests (or chime in on one).

I'm not a US citizen or resident, so I doubt I'm eligible to comment.

Non-US citizens can comment, as far as I know

Non-US citizens can comments, as far as I know. You're helping them. Obviously if you recommend a particular policy you won't have much weight, but if you provide information they didn't have otherwise, notice an inconsistency, or anything else, it can help. Also, if you note something, US citizens may say "me too".
