I'm f*cking pissed that someone just accepted this change without having a clue of what he is doing. Note: the 'new' version was released on the same date as the previous one and I deliberately choose not to use that one.
There are 13 maintainers of the package (see: https://build.opensuse.org/package/users/server:php:applications/php-cs-fixe...), and it was accepted by one of them.
Not really. If you look carefully, you'll notice that none of those 13 people has a check in the "Maintainer" column (or bugowner, FWIW). All of them are _project_ maintainers. The package actually does not have any maintainer.

It *had* a maintainer until about an hour ago. Said maintainer removed himself at that time.
Ah, I see.
What's the point of maintaining a package if you're given less than three hours to accept/reject a request before someone else butts in?
Preaching to the choir... The same problem (project maintainer accepting a submit request within hours, before package maintainer had a chance to react) happened to me few times already and I was also very angry - and even tried to complain about it (with little success). What I can say that it doesn't happen as often recently; or at least not to me, it probably depends on the project (or rather the project maintainers). There is a trick if you want to make bypassing the maintainer harder: add also the "reviewer" role to yourself in the package. There will be probably still a way to accept such request without your consent if there is a need but it shouldn't be possible in the annoying "ha, there is a submit request, submit requests are good, mkay, let's accept it ASAP" way.
