In any case there is one maintainer who has the final word, isn't it?
I am referring to the primary maintainer as that person. He hasn't specific
rights to enforce anything, since the cvs rights are the same for all,
but everybody knows who he is and that he is the primary maintainer.
It may happen that sometimes such a person don't exist, typically when a 
package has been unorphaned by a group of people and there isn't a clear
primary maintainer, but it is an exception, and it cannot happen right
after a submission (at which time the primary maintainer is the submitter,
or the contributor listed in owner.list).
