One example: on the powerpc list, we have an overall maintainer, and several sub-maintainers, who are generally responsible for their own subsystem or set of hardware. If a patch for one of the sub-maintiners' areas appears, it can be delegated to the appropriate person to review, test, and/or merge. The change is then included in the next merge-request from the sub-maintainer to the main maintainer. In this case, patch review is only one of the tasks of the delegate.
