To me the fact that a number of package maintainers is without write
access sounds quite odd.
If they are trusted to maintain a package they are supposed to have also
the skills to push correctly a git commit.
Looking at other Free Software projects I'm involved I can testify that
trust pays off and I think they should get write access. My 2 cents.
