You are not punishing the good maintainers, just not so good
ones. The idea is keep maintainers active in GCC and not just
sit in the side lines while their code gets bitrotten (which
happens too much in GCC already). We can have a reward system
for good maintainers in that they get first priority for committing
in stage 1 and maybe allowing them to decide what is the best way
to do something. In the sense they are can override the other
maintainers in that same area.
