Quite often, that's _exactly_ the one thing a maintainer should do. Most
"non-bikeshed-painting" issues don't need maintainers. They are obvious to
everybody, and/or there's only one person who actually did the work, and
nobody else ends up beign competent enough, and people know it.
The real glory of maintainership isn't making the big and important
decisions. The real glory lies in all the _small_ stuff that doesn't
really matter, and that people will just argue forever.
The ability to just cut off the stupid debate early about something that
otherwise never gets resolved (or that causes bad feelings just because
people get worked up over some perceived issue), _that_ is what the
maintainer is all about.
