Many parts of X.Org have no active maintainer, so individual developers push
patches as needed.
Officially, we do have a published MAINTAINERS list at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/tree/MAINTAINERS
and it may be mostly correct. (I know, I should just update the bits I know
are wrong, like listing Keith for a bunch of the client libraries.)
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches/ is the
closest we have to a policies page that I can think of.

But it wasn't in the repo yet, so when I said that, the only real change was
adding a space between two words in the output, which is pretty cosmetic.
Now that Chris has pushed a fix for a more serious issue, it's more interesting
to consider a release.
