The reason why maintainers may be checked far more thoroughly is
because the average employee of Google or Microsoft can't make changes
to any piece of software company wide, nor do they vote on the
direction of the entire company. [It's also far easier to fire someone
than it is to remove a Developer.]

If you feel that the checks are unreasonable or to thorough, then feel
free to make specific recommendations for places where they should be
relaxed, ideally by helping with the NM process.
