In a literal sense, yes. However, as the curators and owners of an open
source project, we have a responsibility to review code contributed by our
volunteers, and as volunteers they have the freedom to work on whatever
they choose.

I'm not sure there's a golden bullet answer to this, except that it's about
finding the right balance between our responsibilities.
