I'd say -- just use common sense. Comment typo fixes aren't big deal, 
really.

If all the changes are just in the comments/help texts, then reviewing it 
is really quite easy task which one can easily do while stuck/bored/too 
tired to do other things which would actually require some thinking.

That said, if the spelling fixes touch some real code (variables/macro 
defines etc), then they'd of course better be separated.
