The way the git access works is
1. Developer sends a patch to the MAINTAINERs file
2. people can object to that patch like to any other patch
3. patch is applied and the new maintainer is offered write access unless
   that is forgotten, the developer explicitly doesnt
   want write access or is too inexperienced with git. 

There is no leader involved in this process anywhere
