It would have been an excellent opportunity for provenpackagers, who do
Merge Reviews, to gain confidence in touching others' packages, but
FESCo's anxiousness ruines it. The maintainer(s) would be the second
pair of eyes. Don't forget the commit diff notification. They could
object to commits they don't disagree with.
