The libxz issue was that the fake maintainer pressured distros into 
packaging his tarball instead of the project's git tree, so I do think 
there's a difference between an approver, who's actions are subject to 
source version control, and a maintainer, who to some degree represents 
the project to the public, too.

And yes, the borders are grey zones here.

Thanks,
Marc
