For completeness:

As always, the stable branch maintainers' judgement is important when it

doubt, feel free to consult with the overall project maintainer (Richard
Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>).

I am glad you are bringing these things up, it helps me revisit my own
processes and help me improve.

We are planning on revising the maintenance guidelines soon so I hope to
get your input.
