Hi Konrad,

back in 2008/2009 (when Marco Gerards gave over Maintainance to Robert
Millan) there were indeed not much people actively reviewing code.

Active people on the mailing list was just given commit access. It was
expected that they only commit stuff without posting which doesn't need
a review and complies with the rules back at that time.

Due to me missing a few years on the mailing list, I can't tell you
unfortunately how it compares to today.
