I'd imagine for the first few rounds of patchsets I'll be picky about styles and design, but once whoever eventually becomes the volunteer subarea maintainer (perhaps you) demonsrates that s/he has good enough motivation and taste to keep the codebase clean and user experience consistent, I'd delegate more and more decision what to include and reject to that subarea maintainer, just like any material in the contrib/ area.
