Probably not confirming reception of every single email, but I believe it makes an enormous difference to the user asking for commit rights if he gets a simple, totally generic email saying something like "Thank you for contacting us and for volunteering to help us shape our package manager into an even better product. Please be patient while we are evaluating your recent contributions and don't hesitate to ping us again in case you don't get an answer within two weeks." ... as compared to not even knowing whether the email was sent to the correct email address and not lost on the way due to spam filters.
