So you're agreeing that someone needs to be able to act should a package maintainer screw up sufficiently badly, and the obvious candidate for that role is the QA team. The ability to overrule package maintainers doesn't, and shouldn't, mean that they'll go around doing so willy-nilly, but it should be there as a last resort should it be necessary.
