Yes, these files should go through some approval process. I don't know
about Chris, but I definitely can and do make mistakes.
This is especially true when parts are renumbered - that new part number
needs to be verified, if at all possible.
I would expect that a reviewer would treat a file with just keyword
changes differently from a file with major code changes. For keyword
changes, I would first check that only the keywords changed, then I'd
look at the keywords to see if I agreed with the change, then I'd post
my review based on that.

For now, I'd like to keep the header edit just to the admins. Making a
header change is not a big deal for us (now), so it's not a big
time-suck. But there are some loose ends around it that shouldn't be
opened up in general.

I'm not going to express a general opinion here. For a lot of specific
instances, I'd agree with you. OTOH, it'd be nice if people got the
headers right.
If it's a question of holds being placed on the file, I don't emails
asking me to make the edit. It helps if you include the URL to the file
in question, just to save me that little bit of typing.
