Hello, I'd like to know if I'm working fine according to the status
quo..

I usually push patches for others who don't have commit access, while
most packages don't have a team at all, and some with me as the only
team member.

Should I wait for another commiter's approvol under this new policy or
can I push "random packages" (eg: jwm) solo under the status quo?  For
packages I as the only team member (eg: fcitx), should I looking for
another commiter for other's patches and my patches?

Thank you!
