It's a good question, and my guess is that people feel that the people who
can approve these commits are those on the core team and that they are
more likely to be paying attention to this list. (does anyone really read
kde-devel anymore?)
I really think that the CVS policy as it is is a good start, but needs
refining for the next release. Namely, I think people feel intimidated to
commit things into CVS right now, even if the fixes are obviously
showstoppers, and they are seeking approval from the cvs admins and
release people to cover their own rears. Which, don't get me wrong, is
understandable. But perhaps the situation needs to be revisited after 3.2
is tagged and released.
