It seems you are a nice and good maintainer - But there are many MIA guys. If every NMU would require them to OK the upload, we would be stuck :-/ A NMU is not (very) hard to revert if done wrong - just upload a new version. Even if the uploader is a lousy DD and didn't send a patch, you can use debdiff. Of course, NMUs should limit to fixing one bug, doing as little besides that as possible, but if they don't it's not _that_ hard to revert.
