It would be trivial if these decisions would be made by a human who is CCed
on both (i.e. the maintainer of the package) rather than by software.

Policy always hinders the most talented workers (in this case, the best package maintainers). The purpose of policy is to limit the damage a less experienced package maintainer can do.

How do we prevent an inexperienced package maintainer from prematurely pushing updates to stable?

Perhaps you could allow package maintainers to add karma, but only on a special page. The page has a short blurb explaining karma policy, and if the maintainer wants to add karma himself, they have to click the reason they're adding karma.

( ) "Works for me" Comment in bugzilla
( ) etc.. (other acceptable reasons)

This is probably only worth the effort if there is more than one acceptable reason, and they are sufficiently common.
