Hmmmm... well, in this case it might just be as easy for the committers to modify the file themselves, so forget about what I just said ;)

Thanks for the report. In the future, when you spot such a trivial bug/typo, please submit a patch as well, as it is much quicker for the core devs to check it in ;)
