But why get pre-approval for *this* particular commit?  Which change do you
have a problem with?  I genuinely want to know because I do think we need to
have clear guidelines about what our teammates are allowed to work on.

A while ago, we did hash out the semantics of team in Maintainers vs
Uploaders.  Because commits are always reversible, I don't have any problem
with our current rules for team-in-Uploaders.  It's the compact we make by
having team maintained packages, and I for one think it's a good trade-off.  I
appreciate the help in cleaning up our collective packages.

I think we should generally assume that our teammates know what they're doing
and have the skills and courtesy to follow the rules.  I recently noticed that
Ondrej committed some changes to fix our Vcs- urls to https, and I think that
was a nice thing to do!

For a mass change like this, Ondrej should have followed up with an email to
the list.  But he wasn't outside the bounds to make the change.
