I think that's a good idea to investigate, but remember that you *can* break 
things with doc changes. Maybe a way for a "low-priority stage", which stages 
a change but doesn't trigger the integration unless a timeout comes around or 
a regular priority change is also staged.

One time back in the TT/Nokia days Frans asked me for a quick review of a "### 
Qt5" change he wanted to add and I gave him my approval verbally (that was 
before code review systems). So he pushed it. 5 minutes later, Paul waked into 
our office saying we had broken the build: we forgot the // to *start* the 
comment.
