Hi!

I disagree: Waiting for submitter response on minor changes
does slow down or even stall the intended action. Yes, it might
educate the submitter, but at the expense of committer patience.

If we have better tools to estimate the submitter response time/quality,
that might change, but until then, it's better to ask for foregiveness
than to ask for permission.
