So your basically telling me, I can’t decide who gets the power to +2 on for example a toolforge tool I actively am the primary maintainer of? Instead it has to be requested. I do not disagree with a lot of the changes to technical policies, but with this change it seems to restrict ability to scale projects. I also do believe that this change should of be taken under RfC or some sort of consensus-gaining measure. I respect the intentions, but I absolutely think the change needs reverted then voted on by the technical community.
