Carlo is correct. The only difference should just be the voting requirement. All changes must still flow through trunk first and then be backported to each branch where appropriate. The wiki doc should probably say: "Minor non-code changes may not be subject to the RTC rules when being considered for backporting. However, these changes must still be committed to the Trunk repository first, before being considered for backport to any other repository branch. These types of changes include minor typo fixes, minor rewording for error messages, documentation, etc." If the above statement works for everybody, I can update the wiki.
