Maybe, but do you have an alternative suggestion? The one real need
for this that I currently see is: sometimes package fixes may be
provided by Octave, typically JWE, to make them work with a basic
change in Octave. Previously, such fixes were just applied. To ask
first, and to wait for all responses, is an additional maintenance
effort.

Consider that the maintainer isn't required to accept such a
patch. He/she can revert or change it. So this is actually not
principally different from the general requirements that the
maintainer should cooperate and should handle submitted patches.
