I don't see the point of immutably recording typos a reviewer noticed. I view a pull request (or whatever you call them) as a patch series. Something to be tinkered with, rewrite and resubmit until it's considered good enough. If I want to record every stumble, issue and hare-brained idea, that can go into the patch messages.
