That's not completely accurate. While stable requests should indeed be
handled by the package maintainer, keyword requests can be handled by
bug wranglers.

The policy is documented in
:

# * A keyword request should be assigned to the package's maintainer
#   and CC'd to the appropriate arch team(s). The report's Keywords
#   field should contain the KEYWORDREQ keyword.
#
# * A stabilisation request should be handled by the package's
#   maintainer, so you should not CC arch teams in your role as bug
#   wrangler, nor set the STABLEREQ keyword in the Keywords field.
#   Unless the package is maintainer-needed, then you should add
#   arches and set the Keyword field if the bug makes sense.

They even should, I'd say. But please only do that for packages you're
actually using/you actually need. And, as Justin pointed out, please
don't CC arches yourself; package maintainer has to decide first if it
can get keyworded/go stable.

Can users file stable and keyword requests?
