Yeah, we're pretty inconsistent about this because it depends on the committer 
and what process they use to land commits. I commit manually (I don't use arc), 
so I can leave the tags in easily enough.

It's totally up to you if you'd like to request commit access or not (I'll 
happily support your request), but it's not a burden for me to commit things. I 
just have to be around to babysit the bots in case a fix or revert is needed, 
basically. My recommendation is: if you think you'll do patches here and there 
as time allows, you might as well request commit access; if you think your 
contributions are likely to not continue in the future, then no reason to do 
that dance.
