However, my core fear is the potential for it becoming subject to abuse, and people insisting on repeatedly uploading patches that are not actually wanted / necessary for the project, despite the package maintainer saying 'dude , stop' Basically, if a non-maintainer wants maintenance rights, how do they go about attaining them? , an automated service, or some vetting process?
