My initial instinct is that this can be used to enforce "soft" policies we currently have in place.
E.g., by policy, we have different engine-core, engine-fronted and rest maintainers.
However, technically, these are all part of the oVirt Engine project, and, e.g., a core maintainer could give +2 and merge a patch that contains rest/frontend changes.
Seems like the problog submit rules can help overcome this.

Please, please, upgrade to 2.6 :-)
