1. An imperative wording can be more desirable for an improved change description.
   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.13#n94

2. Please avoid a typo in the summary phrase.

3. It is probably helpful to specify selected email addresses also in the message field “To”.

Yes, please.

It will probably be noticed that you sent a subsequent patch version.

Unlikely.

Some change combinations can occasionally become more worthwhile,
can't they?

Sure that change would be perfect as part of a series which modifies 
bootconfig_params(), but as a standalone change I can't see the benefit.

I agree here:

1. Cosmetic changes just complicate merging branches with really
   useful changes. They are complicate backporting fixes to
   stable kernels.

2. Cosmetic changes are material for bikeshedding. Some people might
   prefer the original code because it is better readable for them...

3. The authors of cosmetic changes will not learn much by this.
   Also it will also not help much to gain any reputation.

Best Regards,
Petr

Would any contributors wonder how many efforts may be invested in coding style improvements
for selected software components?
