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 to documentation, code and test cases 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.
