I remember no such change.
What i do remember is really long ago trying to push people toward pushing in
their own repository and sending pull requests similar to the kernel. But this
was not popular so i droped the idea.

Whereever code is maintained teh maintainer should have write access to that
place other things become inconvenient quickly.

maintainers who cannot change the code they maintain should stay an exception

thx
