Fine.  I consider this part of the responsibility of "I'll take it", and
I know from first hand experience that committers do review patches they
receive from maintainers, but yes, I will put this PR on my to-do list
to check and possible correct.

You know, I had a big discussion on the freebsd-ports about just fully
trusting maintainers and having an automated system so trusted
maintainers could fix their ports without committer intervention and the
result of the conversation is that no maintainer could ever be trusted
to that extent.
