Double sign-off? Perhaps keep the org.uk version, since that is the email you use for authorship.

These edits are all positive ones.

I'll leave it to more experienced contributors to comment on how a comment-only patch fits with this section Documentation/CodingGuidelines:

- Fixing style violations while working on a real change as a preparatory clean-up step is good, but otherwise avoid useless code churn for the sake of conforming to the style.

In my opinion, this change is not harmful, but also isn't super necessary. I could go either way.

Thanks,

Sorry, thanks.

If it were a white-space change, or a some trivial style-guide fixup I'd have left it alone. As it is the patch fixes a couple of mistakes, albeit trivial ones, I thought it was worth submitting.

I'd be happy to see it merged, or dropped, whichever seems most appropriate. I appreciate it is internal and not user-visible, but when I read comments with typos in them they jump out!

Updated patch, trivially, below.

Typofixes in comments has no chance of breaking things than a carelessly done code churn made in the name of cleaning up, so cost-benefit comparison is much more favourable. I'm sure that I won't be exhausted after reviewing comment-only patch as much as after reviewing code-churn only patch.

Thanks. I appreciate the context that provides more clarity.

Steve's patch with the de-duplicated sign-off has my full support.
