"Tiny changes" are his words. It was tiny in the amount of characters, but apparently some people consider it not so tiny in meaning, otherwise this whole storm would not have ensued.

Some people consider it tiny, other don't. There is no consensus.

Also, I don't think anyone can claim copyright over the change of 2 words (so in the intellectual property sense it was tiny), so if there was CLA- and other process-related complications, he could have done the same edits himself. Takes one minute, problem solved, shitstorm avoided. Would also have saved a lot of his and everyone's time.
