while commenting is allowed at any time (both technically and socially),
approving lies in the hands of the maintainers of the respective
subproject. it has never been different in kde. the technical limitation
of access is a nice indicator of the maintainers' preference.
if you want to be extra-picky about openness, you can request a flag
which marks an MR as trivial, so anyone with commit access can approve
it. but it's not there yet, afaik.
