[Development] Maintainer "TrustMes"

Hello

One of the duties of a maintainer is to ensure that every contribution to the 
code he/she maintains is being reviewed. That is, if no one else approves or 
rejects, the maintainer has the duty to make that happen. I've done this in 
the past and approved based on +1 given by other people, or by reviewing stuff 
myself.

What are we supposed to do when no one else approves or rejects a commit that 
we created ourselves? Or worse, when no one reviews at all?

My question applies mostly to QtDBus, since I don't expect most people will 
know anything about that module. I've (ab)used Stephen's goodwill to review 
simple things, but I don't expect him to understand the message delivery path 
for example.

What is the suggested procedure?
