Basically you say that the patch submission and vetting process is
fundamentally broken and useless and that people should ignore the
developer list and bug tracker and just dump their code into the
repository instead and see whether others want to fix it.

In fact, you explicitly recommended this way of operation in
<URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg01065.html>.
On the other hand, this list has recently seen considerable rebuke
against a developer doing exactly that.  I am not interested in the role
of a black sheep so I prefer using the submission paths intended for
untrusted developers.

As long as he cannot be trusted to act responsibly and not commit
patches that need others to clean up after him, I cannot see it as
desirable to grant him push access.

He has been judged in clear need of vetting, and the tool for that are
the mailing list and the bug tracker.
