That's evidently true, though I don't think I've ever done much
searching for comments, and only rarely for ChangeLog descriptions (as
opposed to files, variables and functions).

Well, I don't agree (and I've done my quote of typo-fixing). For
starters, fixing typos in docstrings requires adding a ChangeLog
entry, while comment changes do not.

That would make these kinds of changes all the more valuable, then.
But anyway, no typo-fixing can be done automatically. There are
variables and functions with wrong spellings, for example.
