I was also rather surprised by the push. I wanted to write something about it, but: > This patch, on the other hand, was massively revised after the start > of the CommitFest after many months of inactivity and committed with > no thorough review by anyone who was truly independent of the > development effort.

I think that's generally the case, but doubly so with sensitive stuff like this. > I wonder if I am equally free to commit my own patches without > properly observing the CommitFest process, because it would be a whole > lot faster.

FWIW, I think if a patch has been sent in time and has gotten a decent amount of review *and* agreement it's fair for a committer to push forward. That doesn't apply to this thread, but sometimes does for others.
