Y'know, I figured you'd ask.  My answer:

	Yes.  I would.  And, if I couldn't commit them myself, I
	would most certainly share my changes with the public either
	by encapsulating the diffs in a PR, or by simply posting the
	code.

An example of my doing this was when I got the `si' driver to work on my 
4/260.  I had commit access, but it would not have been appropriate for 
me to commit that driver.  Another fine example if the C library YP code 
that recently went into the tree.  In fact, I was a _middle person_ 
there.  Yet the code went in, and went in correctly.

Quite frankly, the fact that I am the hp300 port maintainer has nothing 
to do with this discussion.
