This is not entirely true. GCC and related projects apply a pretty
complex peer review process, with defined roles and privileges. (Cf. the
file MAINTAINERS in GCC's sourcetree for details).
Somewhat over-simplified the process condenses into "All proposed
changes must be peer-reviewed by somebody who is formally in charge of a
component" to be changed. Exceptions apply for "obvious changes".
