Thanks, that's much better. I was trying to be more inclusive.

The following changes can be made by everyone with SVN write access:
-Fixes for obvious typos in ChangeLog files, docs, web pages, comments
-and similar stuff. Just check in the fix and copy it to
-gcc-patches
. We don't want to get overly anal-retentive
-about checkin policies.
+Obvious fixes can be committed without prior approval. Just check
+in the fix and copy it to gcc-patches
. A good test to
+determine whether a fix is obvious: will the person who objects to
+my work the most be able to find a fault with my fix?
If the fix
+is later found to be faulty, it can always be rolled back. We don't
+want to get overly restrictive about checkin policies.
Similarly, no outside approval is needed to revert a patch that you
checked in.
