I believe if you can guarantee (through proper testing) the stability of maemo
tree, and poke for review the specific parts that may affect the rest ot the world,
then it should be fine to just pull it.

That's what git allows for, we don't need an "official" maintainer in the commit
access sense. Just a trustworthy tree we can pull from.
