It would be far too much overhead at this stage to manage every change with a patch. If in any reasonable doubt about a patch or whether someone would object, yes open JIRA.
Otherwise I don't see the harm in leaving it to judgment. We get commit notifications. Changes can be undone. We can tell people committing too freely to let up a bit. That's been my policy. Is that categorically un-Apache or a fine way of operating?

Nah, we have some laziness in Lucene, too. Trivial cleanup/javadocs, etc. can be committed w/o a patch. To me, it's something you know when you see it.
