FWIW, mutter and gnome-shell (and others too I suspect) only allow maintainers to merge to master (due to a lack of better granularity in the community edition of GitLab), but that is primarily due to us using marge-bot, so while anynone from the release team that isn't listed in the doap file as a maintainer won't be able to merge, they would be able to assign their build fix merge requets to marge-bot to have merged.
