Of course on the other hand because the maintainers are volunteers with limited time this process slows changes, but IMHO this is necessary. Having more maintainers for a piece of code is of course the solution, but as we are finding, its hard to actually do for a small project. Even for core there was a deafening silence when I recently suggested that more people volunteer to be maintainers.
I don't think that silence meant anything other than the people that can decide haven't read it yet. But yea, I would welcome a discussion about this in the core. There's great potential contributors on this list, but they're all sitting on their patches and nothing moves forward.
Including patches always means to review them. Also granting access is a delicate thing and adding just everybody to accesslist is bad idea in terms of e.g. quality as everybody might can understand. Unfortunately as none of us is paid for doing Geany development and stuff around its hard to just read the tons of mails after a 10h or more working day. Also there is some life around.
