I can trust someone to follow agreed rules and not to be malicious.
That's what it takes for Tier Two. But that's a far cry from
trusting them to be technically competent, not make certain kinds
of mistakes, and the like.
If a person cannot make a decision, they should ask. That is the only
way to learn in my book. If they make a mistake, it is simply to fix
it, the whole reason why you have version control systems after all.
We make that decision as a group, by consensus, and not by just one
person declaring the new way it will be.
If the group is silent, then only a single person can declare how
something should be done. As was the case for GNU Mach. Marcus
wouldn't have said a word if I hadn't poked him on IRC, nor would you.
If only one person cares enough, and nobody even cares enough to even
say anything, that is the only way to decide something. I don't
regret it, and would repeat it anyday of the week, and would expect
the same thing on a project where I am the maintainer and am simply to
lazy to even answer such a request.

This is pointless; anyone who wants can get commit-diffs mailed.
It isn't pointless, a commit-diff doesn't contain a description of
what the patch fixes. And a commit diff doesn't inline patches, grrr.

I agree. I'll poke at it.
Thanks.
