It is indeed frustrating. I've had a few similar reviews (in other projects
- hopefully it's okay I comment here) as well. Honestly, I think if a given
team is willing to draw the line as for what is permissible to commit
without bug creation, then they should be permitted that freedom.

However, that said, I'm sure somebody is going to point out that come
release time having the list of bugs fixed in a given release is handy,
spelling errors included.
