I think a system of punishing maintainers is going to make it less attractive for less active maintainers to do anything at all.
You are not punishing the good maintainers, just not so good ones. The idea is keep maintainers active in GCC and not just sit in the side lines while their code gets bitrotten (which happens too much in GCC already). We can have a reward system for good maintainers in that they get first priority for committing in stage 1 and maybe allowing them to decide what is the best way to do something. In the sense they are can override the other maintainers in that same area. Thanks, Andrew Pinski
