I suggest this is very important. The act of creating a change to the
code base is a different role to committing a change to the mainline.
People who have commit rights to the mainline should only ever be
committing pull requests that have been reviewed.

If committers side-step the pull request phase in a project such as
Apache Groovy, then we have the situation that "all changesets are
equal, but some are more equal than others".
