In summary, during normal development, an owner can change code at will and does not require a pre-commit code review or even a JIRA to track trivial changes.  Of course, code cannot be committed during a code freeze or ramp down without authorization and almost all work should have a JIRA to track it.  Owners are seasoned developers who know that even a trivial change can cause significant hardship so they are naturally cautious and understand when a "trivial" change is not trivial and requires a JIRA and a code review.

IMPORTANT: Do not reformat code as part of a bug fix.  The makes more changes for code reviewers to track and review,  If you want to reformat a class, make a change set that has only formatting changes.  Do not reformat code that you do not own.
