Let me repeat what I believe I said previously for clarification:
I sometimes make comments about minor issues that I note while reading
through a patch but do not feel strongly about.  These comments I prefix
with "nit:".  I consider them suggestions that I'm happy to see patch
submitters follow at their own discretion.  I don't expect further
discussion of nits, nor do I consider such discussion necessary.
I'm happy to see nits applied, I'm not unhappy to see them not applied.

Something similar applies to things I mark "unrelated:".  These monikers
I apply to issues that I believe to be valid, but orthogonal to the patch
under discussion.  I do not consider them issues that should hold up or
block a patch, but rather result in further patches, bug tracker entries,
FIXME comments or whatever.  I raise the issue in the context of the patch
because I notice it in the context of the patch and it seems better to
talk about and possibly fix the issue rather than keep it mum.

Does it maybe make sense to adopt this as a sort of global policy?
