To me seeing such reviews of a trivial comment patch means reviews are
fake, just to fulfill the process. Especially done internally. Kind of
"patchset looks good, so +1 in Gerrit" (it does not matter if you use
Gerrit or not...). I don't consider them reviews, but useless company
policies. Provide real review or do not provide one at all. And provide
it public, so work with the community, not your inside systems.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
