18 Strictly speaking GLEP 40 forbids it still, although some arch teams
19 have made announcements to approve it, see e.g [1,2]. I wouldn't be
20 surprised if one of the results of the stable WG is an updated GLEP 40
21 that (new GLEP replacing existing) that allows for MAINTAINER
22 self-stabilization. Personally I don't like "any developer may perform"
23 part of it. The maintainer is responsible, and should at least ack
24 stabilization at all before anything is stabilized (for arch-team
25 stabilization as well), and consequently individual stabilizations by
26 developers, either the maintainer itself or someone with applicable
27 hardware.
