1. These are all things that can be fixed before pushing the
patch. I Wouldn't feel like asking to resend for a Fixes tag
and few minor adjustments in the commit log, because:

1a. it's spam in the mailing list
1b. it annoys the person who sent the fix and demotivates him
to send more fixes

but more important:

1c. I learned that tools like b4 are able to take the Fixes:
tag even afterwards. I had this same discussion just
today[*].

2. This is quite a common practice in other communities. However,
with Wolfram we agreed that I wouldn't r-b "in advance" after
asking minor fixes in the patch (but not in the commit log).

Every community has its own rules. I met both the approaches,
that's why I wouldn't be so strict. I'm sure Minjie will be able
to fix those mistakes in the future.

Said that... Minjie, do you mind sending a v3 with the commit log
fixed and all the proper tags and make everyone happy? :)
