Maybe needs a bit more context: The only stuff you raised in your review
is tiny style nits of pretty much utter irrelevance. No substantial and
material feedback anywehere, and in my opinion in such a case either fix
up the nits when applying (when you feel really strongly about perfect
patches), or just merge as-is.
But sending out content-less bikesheds like these just adds noise and
helps no-one. I think at least some spelling stuff is the minimal bar (but
then just include your r-b tag), but personally I don't even care about
that so much, as long as it's still legible.
Thanks, Daniel
