not following this.

but it amused me:

while it can definitely read that way, to me as a native speaker at least, it is reasonably ok, although ambiguous.  it is saying, somewhat casually, that in rare cases it is /needed/ for the org maintainer to intervene and he or she does so successfully or so.  removing ambiguity would  help, but nto a huge deal.

apropos of nothing, ambiguity should be eliminated from medical textbooks and papers.  "rarely, ...." can be interpreted like, it's rare so look for horses not zebras [neglecting that zebras exist], or it's rare but consider it and find out more about it, or various other things.
