no-one suggested to let everybody commit poor quality changes. The
suggestion is to let regular contributors who tend to commit high
quality changes do that without having them go through some kind of
formal review procedure, because we trust those people to exercise good
judgment. My impression is that this model has worked fine in the past.

Take care,
Peter
