Memory-management patch review

You might be terrible at "interpersonal communication", (by which I assume you mean spoken communication with aural/visual cues) but from what I've seen, your written communication is superb. It also gives, may I say, a clear (and edifying) impression of the person behind it.

Good documentation (and authoring in general) requires being able to think yourself into the shoes of the reader. Some are better at that than others, and practice makes perfect, but it's always going to require conscious thought and effort. Good engineering communication, rather than just code-churning, is no exception.
