The way I see it, it’s more about notifying maintainers than it’s about
asking them for approval; they could refuse someone, but the idea is
they’d usually do what other people agreed on.
Cooptation may allow us to scale better: it’s easy for maintainers to
simply lose track of who has been working on what and who should be
given commit access.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ludo’.
