I'd like to point out that the relevant perspective here isn't PSF policy as much as copyright law. Something as trivial as a typo fix for sure isn't copyrightable, so there's no point in requiring a CLA for it. For more involved changes, things are less clear, and a court would be the final authority; but that's admittedly an argument for erring on the side of caution and requiring a CLA for *any* non-trivial change.
