No, but it does affect how long it takes to make them show up on the
page that we present to users of/newcomers to D.
The slow pull request review/accept/reject time can be very demotivating
at times.
True, but saying that you can't make changes just because you don't have
the
permissions to commit directly to the main repository is patently false,
and
that's what Adam's post implied.

I apologize, I wasn't trying to imply that. I was trying to imply that
without such privileges it requires far too more effort on my part to
advocate and cajole for someone to merge said changes than I have time for
right now. I am quite exhausted after spending over a month trying to get
some trivial changes merged into DRuntime. I wasn't trying to ask for
merge rights. The merge process around here is glacial and that could
easily kill D.
