It shouldn't make any difference if the patch submitter has maintainer 
privileges or not. IMHO patches should always submitted as if someone else 
was going to review them.

http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html specifically says that all the normal patch 
submission rules apply, even if you already have authority to approve and 
apply your own changes.
