It is not, please do not let such thing spread outside the Python team.
I don't remember if you are involved in the Python team, but I can tell
you that the low-level of "teamship" that is there is only annoying, and
this part of the policy goes straight against collaboration.

That's exactly how it works already in the science team from what I
could see over the years. What the science team is lacking is active
contributors, there are no rules that are blocking people from fixing
and uploads stuff.
I like the science team because I always felt fine uploading random
changes in the past when I needed them, in the python team I always need
to ponder "will the main uploader be bothered about my chnages" every
time.

IME, this is just an overstatement. I very very rarely saw team members
overstep common sense. If a package is tricky a proper DD should be
able to tell so and ask for opinions, and that happens every so often.
We are already fine here.
Let's not overcomplicate matters.
Timo: go ahead and fix the packages. Just, IMHO please do not add
allow-stderr, instead patch CMakeList to require an higher version (and
forward the patch upstream if possible). I always felt that too many
packages already have allow-stderr where instead erroring out on stderr
is a very fine way to catch future regressions *exactly* like this one.
Looking at the src:cmake page I see there are not too many affected
packages, so it should be fine?
