Top three things to fix
Check the flagged column names for misspellings of standard GTFS fields; remove them if they are vendor extras.
Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec. Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.
Effort: A quick look at the flagged files.
