+Rules for voting +2 on changes: only +2 things that you're very confident in, and generally only in a directory (or package) that you normally "own", unless it's trivial and obviously correct.

+Rules for submitting changes: if a change touches an area that you own, you can submit any changes after a +2. But elsewhere only submit your own changes after receiving a +2 from the owner of that area.
