    Give him a commit bit, and he can quickly grind through all the
    PR's that already have diff's attached to them, and have just sat
    there forever. All he'd need to do was verify that there was a
    problem that was being fixed, and the code didn't look like it
    would cause damage. If it ends up causing damage anyway, the fix
    can always be backed out later. Making send-pr actually result in
    code changes would probably be the most valuable thing anyone could
    do for the project, and it would give him a chance to read and to
    understand a lot of diverse code, in the process, to get up to speed
    on writing his own fixes for PR's without fixes attached.

    Just my $0.02...
