Those weren't "hot-fixes", they were fixes for an issue which wasn't really 
a regression. They were also quite invasive and risky, very much unlike the 
trivial fixes I'm talking about. The maintainer simply underestimated the 
risk, maybe he also overestimated the urgency. But that's not an issue with 
the process.
