As a contributor (with no stake in maintenance at the moment), it was
rather discouraging to go through 14 rounds of code review, have +2 on a
couple of different occasions, but to not have my support patches merged
for the xmc4xxx flash driver. (They're still bitrotting after 9 months as
someone found a few bugs, and I've not had the time to bring it back up to
speed with master).

I love the rigor, but hate having to nag (I feel rude doing so as this is a
volunteer venture).  Relaxing requirements or bringing in a few more
volunteers who can merge flash drivers would be a welcome change.  I still
absolutely 100% agree with having review on them, but the worst thing that
happens if I introduce a bug with a flash driver I'm going to use is that
it'll be an immediate irritation to me, and I'll probably fix it as a
result :).
