 stands for Looks Good To Me). Only approval from a single reviewer is required.
 
 When providing an unqualified LGTM (approval to commit), it is the
-responsibility of the reviewer to have reviewed all of the discussion and
+responsibility of the reviewer to have reviewed all of the prior discussion and
 feedback from all reviewers ensuring that all feedback has been addressed and
 that all other reviewers will almost surely be satisfied with the patch being
 approved. If unsure, the reviewer should provide a qualified approval, (e.g.,
 "LGTM, but please wait for @someone, @someone_else"). You may also do this if
 you are fairly certain that a particular community member will wish to review,
 even if that person hasn't done so yet.
 
+If new comments are posted after the patch has been approved (but not yet
+merged), these need to be addressed and all new changes have to be reviewed and
+approved by a reviewer.

OK, that's the first part of the sentence "these need to be addressed ", but I don't see how "all new changes have to be reviewed " is addressing what you describe here ("another reviewer leaves new comments afterwards").
