No. If it's someone involved in the project for years you feel you can trust then sure, go ahead, but someone coming along being like "sup, commit rights plz" then something's just wrong with you of you agree. If that person were serious about it they could still fork it and maybe msg users of the old version about it. Sure those people could still mess up by just switching over without checking the new fork, or having good reasons to switch like bug fixes or new features, but at least you as the author of the original lib did your part to prevent any messups.
