Agreed. No rules need to be changed. It's not a big deal. At the time 
the question was about, something was missed or someone did something 
that they didn't have authority to do. The question was answered a 
couple of hours ago. We can stop bikeshedding this to try to create 
more rules when none are required. It was a simple, who authorized this 
commit? We got our answer. Let's move on.
