I'm curious if this makes it to the "rule changes" section or if it would be an editorial change and if it's the later, why would this have to go through the rules committee?

Every change to the book aside from typographical errors will go through the committee as they are responsible for ensuring the new wording reflects their intent.
Since it doesn't change the acts that are illegal or the penalties that go with them, I'd view this as an editorial change.
However, the NFHS change regarding a foul on the throwin is classified as an editorial change is actually a rule change.
