Alright, fine!  Point taken.  But both Daniel and Hallski hit on my 
motives for pushing this off.  As Daniel suggests, my proper response 
should have been "Buzz off, woodchip, I am currently helping drobbins 
get rc6 up and running, and I don't have time for minor bug fixes. 
 There are plenty of so-called 'developers' sitting on their asses right 
now who are capable of fixing this"

In my defense, though, as Hallski suggested, the two problems brought to 
my attention were not obvious typos, as woodchip seems to think.  The 
fact that there is a = means that there might be a reason to use it. 
 And the ko.mo issue might point to a larger problem.  As I told 
woodchip, his fixes might only treat the symptom, whereas I would prefer 
someone on the proper team look at it and fix the problem.  If he had 
said, "in the foo ebuild, they typed bar in one place and baz in 
another, when it is obviously supposed to be bar", then I would probably 
have fixed it, or told to him to ask someone else if I was busy.  Then a 
flame would have been appropriate.

I apologize for making it seem like *any* tiny fix should be sent to the 
teams for a vote, but I was only talking about my opinion on those two bugs.
