Not too nitpicky at all. A would bet that a nontrivial number of
revisions in our repository are spelling, whitespace, or documentation
tweaks. Having readable docs and help text makes using and fixing the
software much easier in the long run.

That being said, if you run across several of these in the course of
your travels through the code, it's often much easier for you and for
reviewers to include them in one patch, rather than N patches.

Thanks for the hard work!
