There is a box „committer flow“. What exactly is meant by that? Is there more to be said about that?

I think this means someone with commit bits simply pushing a patch without submitting to code review. Ideally we'd be able to deprecate this workflow in favor of the "auto-validating push" that you've proposed.

I assumed that "committer flow" is simply pushing a patch without submitting to code review or without discussion. I thought committers [1] have the authority in case of typo or small modification. Do I misunderstand?

I see. The term “flow” suggested something deeper or more structured (which might be good, but is not the case). Maybe relabel it “direct commit”.
