I tend to agree that this is a problem, but only insofar as we've become
too territorial. Many times I see bugs filed with seemingly minor
changes being asked for. A good example is bug #173884 which is a
completely valid request. The change is simple, removing
"insinto /etc/env.d ; doins $somefile" and replacing it with "doenvd
$somefile" instead. Now, this is something that *anyone* with commit
access should feel comfortable doing to *anyone's* packages without fear
of being attacked for touching someone else's packages.
I wish we could have a list stating which package you have to contact
its maintainer first (and the reason why if possible), or add
<restricted> tag in metadata.xml to warn people. The rest of the tree
will be free land (unless you break the tree of course)
