[Pixman] Pushing unreviewed patches to the pixman git repository

Hello,

I noticed that some people with commit access started pushing patches
to the pixman git repository without giving the pixman mailing list
subscribers any reasonable chance to review them:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman/commit/?id=8b95e0e460baa499e54c19d29bf761d34c25badc
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman/commit/?id=bd2b49185b28c5024597a5e530af9fc25de3193a

Yes, these fixes were trivial. But still it would be more polite to
actually post patches to the mailing list, collect some reviews and
then *wait* at least severaldays before pushing them to the repository
(unless the issue is really urgent). Not everyone constantly monitors
the mailing list and is able to provide an instant response.

Thanks!
