No.  It was a suggestion, but was never added to the GLEP.

Correct.  They can, however, make previous arrangements with the x86
arch team to allow them to stabilize their own packages.  What this says
is "I acknowledge that anything that I break or that breaks on x86 with
my package, I get to fix and is not the responsibility of the x86 arch
team."  The x86 team will keep a list of these developers.  This is
similar (or identical) to how other arch teams work.  For example, I'm
not a member of the amd64 arch team, but they know I have an amd64 and
use it as my primary development box, so I have made arrangements with
them so I can ~amd64 -> amd64 my own packages.  If something breaks, I
pick up the pieces, not them.

Not that I'm aware of.
