They are?  That's not my policy.  If it's a 'doc fix' to a branch that's
frozen (whether that's src/ or ports/) then it should go through either
Jordan or Satoshi (or whoever they designate) as necessary.

They might then give that committer carte blanche to carry on with these 
sorts of commits during the code freeze, or they might request the committer
carry on funnelling this stuff through them.  But that's their individual
decision.

If this isn't how Jordan or Satoshi want things to operate then fine, but
that needs to be said somewhere in the committers' guide.  Otherwise I 
strongly suggest that people play it safe during a freeze, and *always*
submit it to the appropriate person for review first.
