Thanks! I committed a few trivial fixes, below are a few more I wasn't
sure about:

/s/comparisons/operations/ ?

"other owned sessions" is a bit ambiguous. It reads to me like
"possessed sessions" or "0wned sessions". It's not clear it means
sessions owned by the same user. How about "... to cancel queries in his
other sessions, using ..." ? Or:

* Allow a non-superuser to cancel queries in another backend using
pg_cancel_backend(), as long as the victim backend belongs to the same user

Previously only the superuser could cancel queries.

That's quite a mouthful :-). I don't understand what it means.

Which is correct spelling, "keyword" or "key word"? We seem to use both
in the docs. "Keyword" sounds much better to me, but I think I might be
more prone to write words together than native English speakers.
