Generally +1. Neither reviewers should put -1 due to nitty nits for
typos in comments and especially in commit messages. There is a huge
price of it (we often note cpu cycles in this regard, but the actual
price is frustration and excessive attention to irrelevant "issues"
from fellow contributors). [Sometimes typos in comments and commit
messages really deserve -1, f.e. when they are not intelligible due to
those typos, but it's "one in a million" case.]

- From the other side, the problem with no score comments is that some
contributors assume those comments are not worth attention, since they
presumably don't influence the merge process.

And (almost) all comments are worth being answered. If not for the
particular patchset, if not for the author of the patch, then at least
for the reviewer.
