In openSUSE the frustrated user submits a merge request, and it gets looked at rather quickly, since merge requests are rare while Bugzilla comments are common. There's absolutely no need for a packager to be willing to give others access to his package (though in openSUSE, groups of maintainers maintain groups of packages, which probably works better since there are more people to respond).
