It seems strange to me too. It's not just that, but I have seen more than once someone well-meaning person changing history and pushing it, causing problems for other maintainers. Git is a complex tool and as a result more complex actions tend to fall out of memory and tend towards copy-pasting from a Stack Overflow answer. > A hierarchy of maintainers that reviews the work sent by others and a single person with commit access to the main repository. This is surely the whole point of having a DCVS. You can just produce a request to pull and the person with push access can review it before it's committed.
