Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:222 desrosj]:
 > I honestly couldn't recall if build/test tool, tests, and docs were
 allowed without a double sign off.

 Yep, that part of the docs/handbook needs to be updated to make this
 clearer. As far as I know changes to tests, build/test tools, and inline
 comments (docblocks, etc.) do not require double sign-off. The reason is
 that these don't affect (directly) how the new release works in
 production.

 A special case that does not require double sign-off are changes to the
 translatable strings. It is quite undesirable to change them as strings
 should be in string-freeze, but it's still possible. Usually these changes
 are mostly to fix a typo, etc.
