Particularly for the docs, it'd be nice to have more committer
bandwidth available, if there's a reasonable way to do so without
causing needless merge work for existing committers. Like Peter, I
hate to bother busy committers with trivial typofixes, and sometimes I
just don't bother sending such changes in, and they get lost :-(
Maybe keeping doc/ as a 'git submodule' could work? Or, as Tom
suggests, adding a global committer who could focus on docs changes
would effectively solve the problem as well.
