In the past, I have seen responses to svn changelogs directed to the committer 
and copied to the dev list, so apparently port maintainers who are committers 
are not always the best reviewers.  How many times has there been a 
post-svn-commit debate about whether something warranted a revision bump?  I 
would recommend that any change that changes the build more than a version and 
checksum change warrants a pull request.  If no one acts to review it within 
the timeliness dictated of the committer, then they still have the prerogative 
and authority to commit the changes when they want. 

My two cents.
