I think this is another case where too much regulation hurts us. The
policy shouldn't be "other people can't do it". It should be "act
responsibly." Every once in a while, some package maintainer might have
good cause to modify somebody else's package and push it. Usually, it
won't be the case. If there's a good reason.
I also think your (later) comment on irc was more correct than your
comment here -- if you're not the maintainer, you should be able to
change things and even build. But you shouldn't be able to push to
repos. The maintainer (or rel-eng) need to do that part.
