>Description:

These are two different statements of the Committer's Guide. I think the
second one is erroneous.

"Approved by" is only acceptable from non-mentored src committers -- mentored
committers can provide a "Reviewed by" but not an "Approved by".

Until your mentor decides (and announces with a forced commit to access) that
you have learned the ropes and are ready to commit on your own, you should not
commit anything without first getting your mentor's review and approval, and
you should document that approval with an Approved by: line in the commit
message.
