We IIRC don't yet have any specific written rules that handle this kind
of stuff (anyone interested in working out some rules? FESCo always
needs help!).

The general practice is that only the maintainer changes his packages
normally. I don't like that to much. I think we should give other
maintainers who know their job well (read=sponsors,co-maintainers and
well know/long term contributors) a bit more freedom to fix small or
medium size things in other peoples packages without to much overhead
(read=bugzilla). *Especially* if the maintainer doesn't react in time.

Sure, errors will happen and there will be some fights over details now
and then, but I think the general quality of Extras will improve if we
work in a *slightly* more wiki-style approach.
