I agree that the decision should be made by the contributors / maintainers.

I'm saying that I think they should have data / information / opinions 
from the community while making their independent decision.

There is no guarantee that the decision will, or even should, match what 
the community thinks.

Fair.

But they can still provide opinions / information / data that the 
contributors can use when they make their decision.

I suspect you should give yourself more credit.  You know that you don't 
know everything.  I have dealt with too many people that don't even know 
that.  So you've got a leg up on them.
