For me it's easier to do NMUs without having to care who the maintainer 
is, a delayed upload is not more work than a direct upload and that's
better for me than keeping track of all the requests for 
no/shorter/longer delay I get.

I've pushed my changes there, but kept it a NMU.

The part where it tends to become more than "a tiny more work" are 
commits already in git that I don't want to include in an NMU.

In this case it was a CI-only commit from you I just reverted (the i386 
hang is the rare case of a real hang and not a too short timeout), but
often there is more.

More than 99% of my uploads in the past 9 years are for packages where
I am not a maintainer, and how to integrate NMUs in git is a minefield
where different maintainers have different opinions on what they want.
