In some projects, like git.git, the maintainer sends his patches to
the mailing list like everybody else. If nobody shouts, he pushes. I
believe this is the most sensible approach; the maintainer should not
be considered a flawless god whose opinion is above everybody else,
and thus his patches should not be considered error free, nor
unquestionable.
