Yes. I thought all this policy was explained in the CG for a) and in 
po/README for b).

In 3.6.4 Translations management policies, Managing documentation 
translation with Git, you can read

"General maintenance may be done by anybody who knows what he does in 
documentation in all languages, without informing translators first. 
General maintenance include simple text substitutions (e.g. automated by 
sed), compilation fixes, updating Texinfo or lilypond-book commands, 
updating macros, updating ly code, fixing cross-references"

I highly recommend reading these policies to anybody that may apply 
patches in the future, whatever the time it takes to understand it 
(maybe more than one hour), so we don't pollute the list with 
rediscussing procedures that are direct consequences of the policies. 
However, you're welcome to discuss or help clarifying the policies after 
having read them. I know they may not be clear to non translators, but I 
need your feedback to improve them: sentences that need clarification or 
expanding, details that should be added.

Best,
John
