Looks like we went from one extreme (submit requests hanging around for months) to the other. It happened now for the second time in two days that I see a submit request accepted within a few hours that was a) not submitted by the actual package maintainer and b) not accepted nor acknowledged by the actual package maintainer and c) not urgent in any way. Both cases were core distro packages.
Now I got curious: what 2 cases do you refer to exactly? (Probably you didn't mention them explicitly to protect the guilty, but hey - it's all open anyway ;-)
Please, if you are project maintainer but not package maintainer give the actual maintainer a chance to review what arbitrary people do to their package. By giving a chance I'm talking about weeks rather than hours. It's very unfair and annoying to active contributors if they find their package messed up after returning from a week of vacation. Can we find a sensible middle way please?
Hmm, from a technical standpoint, project maintainers seem to "implicitly inherit" the permission to accept such request. I don't know the reason for that, but if that is not wanted, then something about this inheritance is wrong.
