This is the reason I have always been somewhat opposed to moving from svn to git. In the osm SVN repository pretty much everyone had commit rights. Therefore, if no one stepped up to be the "official maintainer", one could just commit ones patches directly and everyone using the software could benefit from it. In git, despite being distributed you can't really do that (unless everyone has push rights). Although everyone can create a new git repository and commit their patches to it and technically there is no upstream or official repository anymore, socially that doesn't work. It just becomes even more confusing to the user of a software if there are tens of different repositories they could potentially pull from, each with a different set of patches. From a usability point of view, there needs to be a single official repository. If it is more invasive or you do want another opinion, then try sending it to the new tile-serving mailing list, where hopefully someone will respond (or just use dev). Despite possibly being the person who has recently been most active in committing code to mod_tile / renderd and osm2pgsql, I have been reluctant to claim the "official maintainer" title, as I didn't want to be the gate keeper or bottleneck. But perhaps I should just take that responsibility, or at least make sure to try and be more responsive to patches.
