So my proposal is to handle commit access requests in

FLOSS projects do it: on the dev mailing list. Public discussions will give
far more eyes for analysis of every application and allow decision-makers
to make final decisions by glancing through public discussions instead of
analysing everything themselves. And transparency will make all accusations
of cabalism or carelessness impossible. What do you think about this idea,
people?
Any system that does not make it easy for "decision makers" to identify
pending requests will likely suffer from decision makers missing pending
requests, and in my experience even having a dedicated mailing list that
only handles access requests so you could identify pending ones, say, by
looking for threads that have not been replied to by a decision maker,
is not good enough, as that kind of filtering is not well supported by
typical mail software. There are many ways to support "show me pending
requests" functionality, but "glancing" is not one of them, FWIW.
