Hi.

I'd like to propose a policy for the case of people with commit bits 
updating other people's packages.

1)  Please contact the maintainer.
2)  Give the maintainer a reasonable timeframe to respond.  Around a 
week is good, but this is negotiable.  A quicker turnaround may be 
needed e.g. if an update to _your_ package is being blocked by something 
_someone else's_ package does.  See 3B).
3A)  If the maintainer okays your proposed changes, then go ahead.
3B)  If you don't hear from the maintainer or if you can make a case 
that there is a pressing need to change the package before getting a 
response, then get approval from a Core Team member first via an emailed 
message to fink-core or on IRC.  Core Team members should get approval 
from another Core Team member.

Any objections to this?
