I'm fine with relaxing the reviews on documentation. However, there's
a difference between having a missed comma versus the whole patch
being littered with misspellings. In general in the former scenario I
try to comment and leave the code review set at 0, hoping the
contributor fixes it. The danger is that a 0 vote people sometimes
miss, but it doesn't block progress.
