As Stuart mentioned, this is not a good idea. If the maintainer disagrees with QA-made changes, the changes should be reverted until a higher-level decision is made. This mirrors FreeBSD policy [1], which seems to be working quite well for them. A particularly relevant part is this: "Any disputed change must be backed out pending resolution of the dispute if requested by a maintainer. Security related changes may override a maintainer's wishes at the Security Officer's discretion." Thanks, Donnie 1. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/rules.html
