What is the process that you'd like me to follow when commiting over the

possible to relax that policy to commit-then-review temporarily to help
speed along C development?
+1 I think this is fine.
In my experience, as code evolves the appropriate commit policy changes.
Until an area of code is complete and usable and while it's primarily
developed by a single committer, CTR is a reasonable policy. As a
committer, you're trusted not to break the build, etc. C and C++ are
still in this stage.
When code is usable, but not yet widely used, and a single committer
still dominates a major area within it, then that committer can post
patches to that area for review, wait a bit, and, barring objections,
commit them without a formal review.
Once an area of code is widely used, and/or multiple committers have
been involved in that area, then first permitting others to review one's
changes to that area is best.
Does that sound reasonable to folks?
