Can it be a series of patches? May be a separate branch in SVN? That would
be easier to integrate and test for all of us.

Than somebody have to define what is "minor visual things". If it means

Benny, why don't you organize a branch for this work? Then guys can commit
there, we can checkout ans test. Then we can merge.
