On the other hand, new users may be attracted to the fact that we have high standards.
I agree that spelling is a valid reason for a -1. After all, -1 is not the same as a revert in the svn days, it simply means that the commit is not yet "perfect". (Even in svn a revert was supposed to be no big deal).
I would disagree, I think most developers will look for community first. While yes, some wont care that it's full of nitpicky pedants, I think that would turn off more potential developers then would help. Extending this logic, nobody would commit to the Linux kernel tree since it has had fuck and shit committed in revisions. What type of standards is that?
I would agree with Daniel above that if it's in a non-critical part of the commit message, if it bothers you that much, then follow it up yourself.
