We don't plan on going around and making changes without discussing
issues with the maintainers. We put this in so that if the maintainer
is unwilling to work with us for some reason, that we are able to come
up with what we believe to be the best fix. As I said earlier in the
document, we plan to work as much with maintainers as possible, but
sometimes that may prove to be impossible.
