 minor typo fixes, minor rewording
 for error messages, documentation, etc.

 If the above statement works for everybody, I can update the wiki.

Sure, that's fine and is what I did anyway.  I.e. I checked my code
into trunk first and merged the changes from trunk to both stable
branches (3.1.x and 3.0.x).

That's what I thought you meant, I just wanted to make sure it was clear.

 I added the following sentence to
 http://ganglia.wiki.sourceforge.net/ganglia_works:
 
 Minor non-code changes do not need to be backported, they can simply
 be checked into the repository directly.  These include minor typo
 fixes, minor rewording for error messages, documentations, etc.

wrong.  all changes had to be backported, otherwise trunk and the other
branches will diverge and become effective forks, breaking all other
backporting as designed.

the only exception that should be allowed is for voting if it is to be
considered as valid of any exception.

 Hi all:

 I just fixed a typo in one of the configuration files in trunk, now I
 want this backported to the 3.1.x branch.  Since this does not touch
 any actual code (just comments), can I get a free pass and not have to
 go through a backport proposal?

+1

 Perhaps we can outline some minor fixes that do not require to go
 through this peer review process and document this list in the Wiki?

I'd suggest that minor typo changes, minor rewording to things like
error messages, and any documentation are fair game for this.
