My main grudge with the maintenance model in openSUSE is that a maintainer doesn't have control over the maintenance of their own packages. I don't know any other open source project where another maintainer can just make changes to the project you maintain without approval from the maintainer.

I do not understand this complaint. As VirtualBox co-maintainer, any proposed changes are subject to review by me or the other maintainer. Nothing goes into the code unless we approve. I even have to approve my own changes!! Larry
