You might want to check the CoNLL-2014 publication at https://aclanthology.org/W14-1701/
Section 4:

F0.5 emphasizes precision twice as much as recall, while F1 weighs precision and recall equally. When a grammar checker is put into actual use, it is important that its proposed corrections are highly accurate in order to gain user acceptance. Neglecting to propose a correction is not as bad as proposing an erroneous correction.
