I think it's generally `If you're not sure, ask.'
Luckily there seem to be no bozos with commit access, so this seems to work
pretty well. Everybody starts out feeling nervous about what's OK to commit,
and so ask about everything, and then gradually become more confident and
start committing without asking -- and by that time their judgement has
become good enough that they don't screw things up.
