<p>The following changes can be made by everyone with SVN write access:</p>
-<p>Fixes for obvious typos in ChangeLog files, docs, web pages, comments
-and similar stuff. Just check in the fix and copy it to
-<code>gcc-patches</code>. We don't want to get overly anal-retentive
-about checkin policies.</p>
+<p>Obvious fixes to documentation, code and test cases can be
+committed without prior approval. Just check in the fix and copy it
+to <code>gcc-patches</code>. 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.</p>
<p>Similarly, no outside approval is needed to revert a patch that you
checked in.</p>
