I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this point, since I
feel pretty strongly that the primary maintainer should have a voice in
this process since it could affect their workload.
Regardless, as the proposal states, if the compat maintainer and the
primary maintainer cannot come to a mutual decision, it can be escalated
to FESCo to make the final decision.
So this is not needed to
* add yet more rules
* show a preference for the primary maintainer
since the same rules as always can simply apply.
