Well there is one of the problems imho - the project is getting too
big and the patches are getting too complex for us to be able to rely
on you to sign off on every feature or major patch. We need put more
trust in the judgement of the other committers and senior developers
otherwise the project will simply bottleneck as you get more and more
overworked.

/me hopes that comes across as intended :-)
