This is definitely true – in this sense, our initial corpus of regexes are the booster stage for this project, in that they enabled us to produce something useful for journalists in a reasonable timeframe. Typerighter's built as a platform for matching text, so we're not tied to regex – at the moment, we're migrating many rules to LanguageTool, which is a part of our pool of matchers and has a more sophisticated set of NLP tools. (And a great project – thanks LT maintainers!)
Thanks sharing these projects, other suggestions are very welcome – we'd be interested in adding new matchers based on different tech if they were a good fit for the use case.
Taking a look at the corpus, the rules we have currently migrated are very specific to our style guide, and we'd likely be unable to contribute large chunks of the corpus for IP reasons. But this certainly seems possible for more general grammar or style corrections if there was a need – although LT's lists of rules are already quite comprehensive!

Will you (are you) contributing any of the rules back to TL? Or are they to specific to your org?
