I was critical of that policy back then and dependent on what
"submit" exactly means I think there are cases where it's an
obstacle.
My work on Guix is dominated by bulk upgrades of hundreds of R
packages. There is no point in submitting the upgrades
individually. In fact, my work on Guix has become so dominated by
R upgrades that I barely ever get to do much else. This means I'm
unlikely to review more contributions and increased friction in
performing these massive upgrades would only make it less likely
that I can perform them at all.
Obviously, not everything in Guix is like this, but I thought I'd
mention this mode of contribution.
