No, but there's a bit of a difference between "no way to get commit access now" and the current situation. But, in the proposed meritocracy, some putbacks would need to be done with handholding before letting people go it alone. Internally, we have a two stage commit cycle; and while this was created for a practical reason (reading blocks writing), it also serves as a last check.
