I am also surprised by this and strongly support this request!
Martin has been instrumental in refactoring much of the code in the blocking system that is essential to the mission's continued success.

Martin Urbanec is a long term contributor, both on the wikis and to the code base. As a Steward, he has the trust of the community. His contributions in code include improvements to extensions like OATHAuth and CentralAuth. He is also helping with decoupling classes in core to improve code health, and provides configuration patches on behalf of the community.
Martin has been particularly helpful in investigating and fixing a recent security issue (T260485). Working with him on that, I was surprised to find out that he doesn't have +2 rights. From what I have seen, it seems empowering him to merge patches is long overdue.
