Yes, that's all I meant:  make it the committer's job
to merge or block as appropriate.  I just wasn't sure if
there was some reason that this would be difficult or
undesirable.

I'm not suggesting that this be enforced (mechanically
or otherwise); just that it might be worth considering
instituting a policy to encourage individual committers
to take responsibility for forward porting their commits.
