I agree with most of what you have said (and definitely can be blamed guilty) but this situation was exactly what I had in mind for original rant. You don't feel that you are competent enough to judge that PR and everyone else (including those few who possibly can be proficient) does not feel authoritative enough make the decision. It is not your personal failure (and I apologize if my words sound like that) but general organizational problem.

I believe calling for explicit domains of responsibility ( as opposed to just giving push access :'( ) is one way to address that. Quite likely there are better approaches but those are for someone else to propose.
