HEAD is, after all, not promised to be "release-ready" branch: our
priorities of whether to check something in or not should mostly focus
on whether this achieves the goal of getting our development done
efficiently.  Since it is not overly efficient if people are kept from
working by bugs in areas where they are not proficient, one should be
careful about checking stuff in that will break functionality.

In the case of the tutorials, however, I should think by far the most
efficient way to get this done is by just checking in a first version
and let the respective speakers of the language then simply do the
corrections in HEAD.  If some intermediate tutorial version happens to
use bad words and grammar, this does not impede development at all.
Certainly takes less developer time than hand-applying and
corroborating patches.
