No need to apology. I just wanted to make sure this wasn't lost. If the
policy in XCB is to only get commit rights after patches have been
accepted, that's fine with me as well, it's just a bit different to the
policy on other X projects (server, libX11, etc.), which is somewhat
inherited from CVS days.

Definitely!
